Vw Citi Golf Fitting Pistons to the Bore

[@sathasivanmurugas8639]

Lekke video Garry. Can't wait for more citigolf videos. A real classic for our South African enthusiasts

[@sathasivanmurugas8639]

Did the company reimburse you for not installing the gudgeon pin correctly from the previous video and will you rebuild that engine?

[@sathasivanmurugas8639]

Please can you also video how to remove an engine correctly. Mounting points to use and also how to remove Cv and drive shafts correctly, exhaust bolts and gearbox. Even if you develop a 5-6 video series. I'd definitely look forward to watching all. Every video thus far has been very informative and helpful. Thanks and God bless your craft Gary

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

No, but I stopped using them, they are now out of business, guess they had too much of this type of incident.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

It just got put on my shortlist Sathasivan, thanks for the suggestion, a great one.

[@jaydonessack3640]

Heyy great video just wanna ask what if u took off the bottom part of the piston without marking it how do I now know which goes where

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

That would be a problem Jayden especially if you removed all 4 without marking it, best guess and hope for the best.

[@dawiehechter5159]

Thanks, engine is coming together nice

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

[@i_declare_bankruptcy686]

Hey there! Can you make a video on things to watch out for when buying a second hand car? Thank you!

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi thanks for all your content! Did you ever replace a distributor shaft bush? If yes don't you have any videos regarding the replacement of it.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

No, never, Justin, it is usually cheap enough to replace the complete distributor, less labour intensive.

[@danielshaun5451]

What is the torque spec for the golf 1 conrod caps

[@alphatech870]

Wow that was excellent, I have a question is mk2 and mk2 uses same crankshaft?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Yes

[@teonthevwwhisperer7316]

Good going keep up the good work

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for your continued support Teon, it is folks like you that makes all the effort worthwhile, all the best ahead for you and yours.

[@arthurdejager1775]

Can you tell me what I would need to increase the piston size from 2.0 to 2.3?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

You will have to rebore the engine block.

[@tshiamotlhalogang7827]

hi..does conrod numer three has a oil because my citi golf 1.3 had a crankshaft problem because of that conrod doesn't have a oil so I replaced that crankshaft now I don't want to put in that conrod because other conrods has hole is just that one so do I need to replace it

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Yes

[@craigrodgers3691]

Sorry Mr Gary did you replace Conrod bolts

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Not necessary

[@athishmanilal5132]

What happens if your piston don't have an arrow on it

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

There will be an indication of what is the front of the piston either an arrow, dot or groove, Athish, you just have to look carefully.

[@DU4NEOFFICIAL]

Hi oom, Can you bore a 1.4i and fit a 1.8 crank and pistons

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

No, it is not advisable Duane the stroke could be different.

[@garyjones7613]

yes you can

[@revadajee2253]

Thank you Sir appr how much would this cost

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Reva, thanks for the support, the answer to your question is it depends on what you want to be done, this procedure in the video is but a small portion of rebuilding a Vw Golf engine.

[@alainmb1094]

Hi V&R,I would like to ask if a 1.8 crankshaft will work on a 2.0 block.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

I stand to correct, but I believe it is not advisable due to the journal angles.

[@drevil2783]

Dont you lightly coat the bore with oil prior to pushing the pistons in?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hello Doc, yes you are correct, I just did not emphasize it in this video but it was done, my bad, sorry.

[@johanthomas6389]

What is the recipe for 1.8 block 8v head with 2.5 kombi pistons

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

I never tried it so I am mystified.
