I used the alternator from the 2.0 motor with the 6 rib belt, used a vr6 water pump pulley (not grooved) using a 6pk 1033 belt and its never let me down

Hi there I have exactly the same car it’s been standing for 5 years now 😭 reason it’s because of the mechanics that were handling the car I have lost hope cause they knew I don’t know anything about cars which they wouldn’t lie to me this videos are giving me the power to seek for help regarding my car 🚘

You should have socked the block in pool acid it would have cleaned the water jackets nicely

[@dsperformance5496]

Howzit Bru use a jetta 3 none aircon water pump pulley and crank pulley also from a jetta and get a belt to fit

[@tanakamlilo7027]

High Jamie I would like to go the route as you did, how much would cost to buy the engine and do almost everything you did

[@jamiepotgieter]

Hi bud, I’ve made a video braking down the costs for basically all that I’ve done so far. That should give you a guideline or estimate of more or less what you could budget for kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGK6emaJhph2kLM

[@RodwinHJones]

Coming along nicely man. Big ups 👍🏼

[@jamiepotgieter]

Thanks Rodwin 🙌🏻

[@fabian00001111]

I think you gna need to put your old alternator back on regarding ur pulley

[@jaffarjaffar8386]

Hello. I have a Volkswagen vento.2.0 engine, where and how do I get spare parts or to pack the engine original and I am from Iraq.

[@JarrydBarends]

[@akhonamfaxadlulisa7292]

Hi Jamie my golf 1 has a smoke and fuel coming out of the exhaust pipe. What can I do plz help

[@mmbiko]

You are killing it! I am thrilled man! Can you fix my citi sport mk1 golf, 2008 model? It lost power

[@AckDue]

Mk1 Golf & 2008? Maybe I don't understand but I thought Mk1s were late 70s early 80s?

[@jonathanpalmer1720]

Hi Jamie did you block off the hole in the center on intake manifold, if so what did you use?

[@ninoanthony7990]

Which spray are you using to spray the parts? Motor looks really nice.

[@lloydlee5905]

Top notch cuz

[@maxnaidoo2152]

Let's get it! First start-up by the end of the month?!

[@jamiepotgieter]

Maybe we can. Depending on my budget 🤣 still need a branch and management but hopefully 🙏🏻🤞🏻

[@ricardopillay5606]

Hi Jamie that car sounds good maaaan, what pistons are those

[@Johndeer325]

Great video bro 💪🏽💪🏽 just wanted to find out how much kw is the motor putting out

[@ariffhoosen6926]

Good stuff

[@mr.backyard.buildz]

How much was your overhaul kit?

[@waleedlakay1964]

what size valves is that you using?

[@ashrafabrahams6215]

Hey Jamie love the series bro, but what did you torque your water pump bolts to?

[@lucasmathole2898]

Guys i hv same engein but it making nose on top

[@easye47]

I’m enjoying the build series so far in spite of the “budget build” departure. If I may ask, what prompted you to venture down the rabbit hole of building an 8v as opposed to sourcing a 16v, VR6 or 1.8T ? I imagine the costs associated are fairly similar.

[@jamiepotgieter]

Thanks bud. Initially I wasn’t planning on doing all the modifications that I have done. Being a “budget build” at the time, it was a much cheaper option as opposed to those other options. I would have loved a vr6 or 16v. also wanted a NA build that’s why I didn’t opt for a 1.8t

[@kimolanthumbiran2261]

How many tone piston that

[@brysonadonis1854]

Letss gooo!

[@jamiepotgieter]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sheridonholloway6764]

The motor is looking good Jamie 👌 can't wait to see the once the motor is in and starting 💪 will you be fitting a lower strut brace on the golf? Heard alot of guys recommend it when fitting a bigger motor in the golfies just my food for thought but keep up the awesome videos 🙌

[@jamiepotgieter]

Thanks Sheridon much appreciated 🙌🏻 yup will definitely be fitting that

[@ruthlessgaming7southafrica804]

[@NdinguAnda]

Bro love your channel but my advice, new age youtube vlogging significantly in the car community, show more of the car work than yourself, rather narrate the whole video then show yourself.

[@mikezhang6159]

this famous VW 2.slow 8v engine is famous for its reliability but notorious for engine oil burining from day 1...nobody know the real reason

[@tomdog19700]

このレベルのレストアエンジンなら欲しく無いな… 面は塗っても補機類とかは治して無さそうだしウォータージャケット錆だらけ、合わせ面は研磨した痕跡が無い。 このエンジン本当に長持ちするの？
