Just an update with my Daughters FTO.
Well with your help i have mannaged to track down an engine for the
FTO. Super happy with all your help.
It has been delivered and is a complete ready to place drive plate on and drop in.
How good is this a replacement without c/over.
With out this site i would be probly still lookng for one.
For this and all who posted replies to us we thank you very much.
Hope to be on road with the car soon ( not for a few weeks though coz we r going away to Alice springs )and maybe see some faces behind the names.
By the way does anyone know how to run an engine out of the car before fitment without a second computer :?:
This is somthing i would like to do so i can prove it is a good runner with no problems, not that i beleive it has ),
and should i replace the timming belt before i fit engine as a precaution ( have no real idea on distance travelled on engine before being removed or for what reason either). Any clues :?: thanks David
I cant say about the running of the motor out of the car but it would be a good idea to change all the beltswater pump fuel filter (just becaus you will have more room to work in) befor putting in just to be on the safe side.
