VW Golf MK1 restoration ep.17 - 1.6D ENGINE REBUILD pt.1

[@90chiellini]

Finally a restoration videos when someone is not working inside a 300.000 eur garage but in almost same conditions as most of us. This will be really helpful. Keep it up!!

[@dmclegg66]

I just put one of these engines in my skid steer still working on it but it runs great thanks for your video mine was missing parts and now I know what i need.

[@hairydeck]

I just pulled my motor from my 1.6d Jetta to do a rebuild. Glad I just came across this series hope to see it continue

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Good luck my friend with the rebuild !

[@hairydeck]

@@upcyclethepastutp9901 thank you, do you remember what size bolts your used to put the motor on the stand?

[@glxcknerTTV]

Sick bro, I'm getting ready to just pull my head first and see where that goes, let me know if you document it at all!

[@clayton203]

My workshop is smaller than what you have, got to work you what you got, great video

[@JunkVWs]

Wild about that engine documentation 😁 such a hastle for a simple engine swap

[@jdmking4776]

Don't own a VW yet but. Looking like it might be my next car so. Good video

[@efstratios.grammenis]

Amazing video; I am looking forward for your next one. Keep up your great work and spirit and give Sophie a cuddle.

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Thank you mate ! Sophie is doing just fine, living the good life xD !

[@williammawoko6022]

thank God came across this. Also rebuilding my 1.6D JK engine for 1984 mk1. My cylinders have small ridges at the top. Do yu thing i shuld resleeve

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Hey :) well don't really know what to tell you. I knew that i will have to re sleeve because i had to change the pistons. The guys at the workshop told me that I have a ware of 0.35 in the cylinders and said that i need +0.50 mm new pistons. I found new oldstock Nüral pistons from a local vw guy that were + 1.00 mm and 150 $ for all 4. The workshop gave me an offer of 100$/ piston (the 0.50 ones)... basically what i'm trying to say is that you should go to a good workshop and ask them what's the condition of the engine block and after that check for the best price solution that fits your budget and needs :)

[@vwfatmobile3275]

I think getting oversized pistons and reboring it would be a better option than resleeving it. As long as it isn't bored to the max already.

Un travail méticuleux BRAVO

[@milanantonoski673]

Great 👍 video!

[@lamarrox5929]

I know the frustration of bolts breakingI had four sump bolts brake when i removed my oil pan because the drain vale bolt was stripped and the previous owner sealed the threads with silcone seam sealer to stop the leaking. We also have the same rules regarding engines and the paper work. I am eagerly waiting to see the reassemble of this beauty. Oh yes I love the Mark 2 GTI i saw it in your first video and i saw it in this one.

[@НикитаТолоченко]

приятно смотреть у самого мк1 и мк2 удачи!!!

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

[@Noname-ce8vp]

Hello, how did you remove the crankshaft pulley? 11:49

[@arifteta3645]

Brother, please, do you have a video of how you put the engine in phase

[@jessgone]

Salut, ti-ai dat si tu de lucru! As avea nevoie de cateva informatii, am acelasi motor, montat pe un T2 din '76, si daca ai putea sa ma sfatuiesti cu cateva chestii tehnice ti-as fi recunoascator. Cum pot lua legatura cu tine? Multumesc!

[@rat_god69]

I have the same engine stand lol

[@Blacknight-vu1po]

What socket did you use to losen the cylinder head bolts

[@MoherPower92]

In Poland we had similar law about engine codes in documents I think until approx half of 2000s. But today even if u still have engine code in your paperwork no one cares, that doesnt matter even on technical inspections - you can change engine if you want, no one is reading and inspecting it anymore. Before that Ive heard that changing an engine was really painful experience (especially in communist times) - you even need to have documents where you have bought "new" used engine... Good luck with build!

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Romania is a special kind of stupid in the EU block xD

[@luismontero2866]

hello. Do you have a workshop manual for this engine? Can you provide me with that information? or where can i get it

[@fanespoitoru9790]

De unde ești, omule bun?

[@benjaminoh20]

Great video indeed...please help me on MK2 project if you do not mind please. I am a VW enthusiast from #Kenya #Thanks

[@abderrahimmark]

Without music would be nice. Keep ot natural.

[@alexs8495]

Totally sad for what you have done to the nature. Ecological disaster!

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

Hey man :), I have no other option for washing big parts like this. Only in front of the barn. Still better than letting the dirt and chemicals into the public sewage. I did this couple of times and my grass grew back after two weeks :). Thank you for the input !

[@khester7397]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@panoskiria1329]
