Technical / PAS pulley out of alignment
Last post by james_nich -
Hi all. I just fitted a new water pump and am having some headaches getting the pulleys to align.

The water pump pulley seems fine but the PAS pulley is way out. I think two things have happened:

1. The previous water pump was fractionally closer to the pump, can see scoring in the cam belt plastic cover.
2. The PAS pulley was barely missing the others.

It looks like the PAS pulley needs a lot more offset. The current pulley is  027 145 255.



I fitted a febi water pump so dont think that's wildly out of alignment.

It could be that it has a mk3 PAS pump maybe? There were single washers spacing the PAS pulley on inspection.

Can i get a dished PAS pulley to create the offset i need?

Struggling to find what i need online.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: 5th Gear Upgrade

Assume this is for yor 16v?

I had mine changed at the same time as the clutch and it was more expensive than I expected, circa £1k and they were a gearbox specialist.

The high 5th gear is great on the motorway and the car can still accelerate up a long dual carriageway incline but there is a very noticable gap between 4th and 5th on b roads. You may wish to check other gearboxes that give a better spread of gears. I'd do that if I was to do it again.

Mk2 Golf Chat / 5th Gear Upgrade
Last post by Andy.D -
Evening all,

I'm looking to have the 5th gear upgrade done on my car and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a garage/transmission specialist in West Yorkshire that I could use, preferably Leeds/Bradford area.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Technical / Re: piston rings and pistons

Like i said, possibly not right question yet,

I'm assuming pistons, but the vague wording was really new pistons and rings over sized, bearing big and small, main bearings etc etc
