The £250 Golf cabriolet two steps forward one step back.

[Vince70]

I had a couple of hours free today so thought I would make a start on the golf cabriolet which I bought for the princely sum £250 and bought a cheap dizzy cap and rotor plus air and oil filters plus leads and plugs and looking at the old cap it was most definitely time for dizzy cap replacement.

I used my trusty Pela but it’s given up sucking oil as I think the seals have gone and it’s so stained I couldn’t quite make out how much I managed to get out and reckoned on roughly 3.5 litres but the car is parked in such a way that I couldn’t get underneath so to get to the sump plug and filter and needed to put oil back in and think I’m about a litre over.

Also I found this gasket under the bonnet next to suspension strut so have to find out what it’s for but what do you guys think as I think it sounds okay now as these old geriatric 4 pots never exactly sound brilliant.

I’m looking forward to getting the jet wash out and giving it a mop as it’s completely rot free and should come up lovely.

Thanks for that Barry I would never of guessed what it was in a million years and was looking around the engine for something missing.
