@guusbouwmans5667 3 года назад

@@ItaliaAutos I think someone dropped a washer or something in when they did the timing belt. If nothings is missing from the engine components. Shame about the excessive liquid gasket use too. Good thing they have a large oil pick up. Usually on VW’s the sump is the first thing I check when someone is asking about a rattle after a big repair like a chain. Small oil pick up, and enough liquid gasket for sealing the sump from an ocean liner usually means a rattle and low oil pressure in the cilinder head.

Trying to do a GTA engine rebuild at the moment but some parts are now impossible to get due to Corona, mostly bottom end parts like crack bearings and also piston rings. Some rubbish stuff available but nothing good. Very frustrating lol, good luck with yours!

That piece looks like either (i) a piece of valve guide that broke off previously and got mashed up and was left in during a rebuild (happened to me) - they protrude quite far out of the casting; or (ii) a piece of valve seat broken off and left there from a previous rebuild. Doesn't look like a bashed up valve lock or keeper. It could even be a broken of piece of spark plug outer - if someone had to helicoil a plug.

@ItaliaAutos 3 месяца назад

i think it was a part of a locating ring for one of the camshaft carriers.

What is the area of the weak point on the 3.2 Busso. Thanks. I’ve seen in my paperwork a £5600 bill for a refurb. It then had an engine 1000 miles later.

Weak point is mainly bad owners who don't serve them correctly. Main weak point is too much heat.

Hey Neil, I removed my engine to get the GTA flywheel and clutch, waterpump, some coolant system sealing rings, Thermostat, cleaning up oil mess from leaks, starter and alternator. Do you recommend to change the Hydraulic valve lifters alwell? And apart from that any other things I should check before I forget? It's a 2.5 from 2000 166 with 315.000km. engine looks clean under the valve cover and oil is nice and clear.

Hi, i was planning to buy another 156. Had a jts years ago. I was a facelift but i prefer the prelift...is there any major issues with the early jts in these models as i prefer the interior upgrade over the twinsparks?

@pseudonym4957 3 года назад

They're probably a bit rare in the UK with their love of diesels and all, but FWIW mine has been great, it's a 2005 selespeed and from 100,00km to 140 has had no issues bar a coil pack and variator replacement. Does use a bit of oil, and occasionally a lambda sensor sooks a bit (probably the injectors getting a bit old) but otherwise has been rock solid. I've read some early JTS wore out camlobes but there's nothing concrete I've seen, most likely just poor oil change discipline. If you can't find an early JTS with the S1 front just get a nice facelift version and bolt a series 1 front on.
