T3 Diesel problems resolved???

A quick update for the Phil. As you know his 1600 td failed miserably despite being "Rebuilt" by one "professional" and "Serviced" by another. It took two Amateurs (this means for love, not trade) about two hours and a hang over to find the fault, and subsiquent faults. As you can clearly see in this picture, if the crankshaft pulley is sheared along with the woodruff keyway on the crank then as this gap expands you can see this relationship to the position of the piston to the valves!!! So anyway got outside my house house this morning to find a note no elcie (not happy at this point) The note reads "Bought an engine" :) Phil. (appy now) The other night Gary and myself spotted a suitable Golf donor for Phil with a decent price tag .......and hes got it!!! 1.9 Turbo Diesel Golf!!! AHU engine code so will fit His Bus!!!!!!!!!!1 no more crappy buggered 1.6 polo diesel.....HELLO 1.9 Turbo Golf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
