[@enterBJ40]

I bet there's a lot of heat transfer from exhaust to air intake: i think its a design flaw.

[@michaelovitch]

Yes. Very common before,it was cheaper to produce and the efficicency was not a priority.

[@swedfilms]

sure :)

[@jaggass]

Can you still get bits for an engine as old as this from VW or Volvo or do they have to be aftermarket?

[@michaelovitch]

+michael jagger It's really difficult to have certain parts. You can find usual maintenance parts quite easily,but there are others wich are no longer produced. It's a too rare car and engine to keep going on the road without being in trouble if you want to repair and react quick.

[@jaggass]

michaelovitch Like pistons valves etc?

[@michaelovitch]

+michael jagger No,those parts are quite easy to find,because used on the golf 2 at least ,and maybe the mk3 like you said. I was quoted for 60 euros a piston kit if i remember correctly. I've asked a Russian guy on Yt who did a rebuild,and it was way cheaper,like 40 or less a piston/rings kit. The difficult things to find are for the car itself,like lights,blinkers,plastic interior parts and stuff like that. You can find aftermarket on swedish sites,or in UK. I have few websites as favorites in my browser,in case : ) It's still a pain in the ass to get parts,if you find it...
