Hi guys , just done a compression test today and not getting any compression at all on one of the pistons, my mechanic mate reckons id be best getting a new bottom end from a 1.2
Had a quick look on ebay can get an 188 a4 bottom end for around 120 delivered,
My engine is the 187 variant its a mpi 51 plate , had a good read over the faq on engine swaps im a bit baffled by this part,
You need to use the Cento crank position sensor, Cento oil pressure switch complete with long hollow bolt and 90' elbow.
The exhaust won't fit. You need to either have the front pipe cut and extended by 15mm to get it on, or make a spacer to go between the front pipe and manifold. If you do this, you will also need longer bolts or studs fitting to the manifold to connect it all up.
You can either use the flange cut from an old front pipe, or have one made up. If you have access to facilities, it's not difficult to do - use a gasket as a template. Alternatively, an engineering shop may make you one up.
If i use my existing head will i still need a spacer for the exhaust????
Thanks guys any advice greatly appreciated
