SRowells Diablo 1.8 - Jenvey 45s & OMEX600

[Eeyore]

does your xu7 have a twin outlet rear water manifold thingy?  as the alloy block ones dont interchange to the iron block as the bolts are laid out differently.

We have got one bolt in for that at the moment but havent got the second one in yet. We could work out of they were different or not. They look extremely similar. Any suggestions of how to do it if it doesnt bolt up?

So... last night tom came over and we cracked on.... rear disks on...



thermo stat housing swapped. Few holes in different places but sensors and theromstat swapped over no problems. Be sure not to break the plastic elbow when removing.




as you can see the xs vs gti6 cooling pipes are completely different. The top xs one has a 180 rubber bend that sits on the gti6 manifold and will melt if driven. So these need to be swapped over...



The GTI6 thermostat housing is also different and sees to have a second pipe which bypasses the heatermatrix.



didnt have a gasket here but there is one there now...



So lots to do:

Rearrange Subframe
Fit clear cooling pipes
Fit heater matrix pipes
Fit gear linkages
Front Brake Discs
Fit OEM top mounts to coilovers
Polish wheels and get tyres put on including valves and balancing
Fit Exhaust
Fit interior
Wire Speedo
