Hm. If the Cabrio deal doesn’t work out for some reason, I’ll keep that in mind. At least it can be used as a parts car.

I have personally never done a 1.8t, but I’ll look it up now and let you know. If it were an Audi 1.8t you could consider it done, but unfortunatly…its not.

i’ve done a 1.8t t-belt. but i don’t have the facilites to get it done in this weather. if you get germanpsi or psi2gheyy to do it i’m sure i could swing by and help. its not that bad of a job, its just tedious. you have to drop the pass side mount and even still there’s not much room to get in there.

V dubz are a pain in the ass man I had the  
same problem on mine but I had a coolant leak but it would warm up and as I drove it it cooled down to under 180 it was weird but when I start mine every morning it shoots the rpms to like 2300 and slowly goes down they suck when they’re cold

your car is a 2.0, which are much easier to work on, and much easier to diagnose an issue because they dont have nearly as much electronic interference. the other plus side of your engine is the valvetrain is non interference, so if the belt breaks you just retime it. a 1.8t youre looking at bending a bunch of valves.

yeah true I just had to fix one hose I had a similar problem I thought it was the thermostat haha but yeah I could fit a whole different engine in mine I have that much room haha it’s crazy but I’m looking to either turbo it or do a 1.8t engine swap cause the car itself is spotless perfect but I want it alot faster you got any ideas?
