Having to rebuild me sisters Golf 1.4 at mo, bit different than doing the z.

It is a 1998 with 52000 on clock and has had 2 broken pistons - unbelievable or what!

Got most of the bits but still need to get the torque settings for most of the engine (main bearings, big ends, sump etc.). Anyone know where I can find them. Must be somewhere on the web.

if no-one comes up with anything tonite, ill post them tomorrow when i get to work

Thanks alot m8. Do you happen to know what the setting for the clutch pressure plate is aswell. Is this all correct for a AHW engine (16v). Thanks again.

er, no. that was for early 98 model.

 

bit of a prob on AHW engines it seems

 

give me a call at work - 01227 711112

not heard from u yet so heres the info i was gonna give you:

 

according to Autodata there is no figure for the mains bolts & this warning:

 

Caution:

 

Measurement of bearing clearance is not possible by normal methods & should not be attempted, as this will result in damage to the block & crank.

If the bearing bolts have been loosened, the entire cyl block & crank must be replaced.

 

 

the rest of the figures are different too:

 

Head bolts: (new) 30Nm +90deg +90deg

Big ends: 30Nm +90deg

Flywheel: 60Nm +90deg

Sump: 15Nm

clutch: 20Nm

 

phone me Mon morning when im back at work if you need any more info

That sounds bloody pathetic. I have had as much problems with the parts on this car as the z. Thanx for finding that out m8 but will have to try fitting back together asi have bought all new bits now(pistons, gaskets, big end bearings, main bearings).
