Engine & Gearbox / High rpm when cold for 20 minutes,...?
Last post by philip -So after adjusting everything possible on my Golf Driver MK2 1600 cc cab,
I got a new problem,...
When stone cold in the morning, turn in on, rpm goes to 1100 for a few minutes, then suddently goes to 1400 rpm and stays like this what ever i do for 20 minutes and then goes down gradually back to 900 rpm +-.
For the rest of the day, every time i start it, it's bang on at +- 900 rpm.
Next day the hole thing starts again !
I have no clue what's wrong ! thanks for your help

Philip.

Engine & Gearbox / Re: Engine swap advice
Last post by Monkey -But I can understand your want to swap the engine, depending on how far you want to go, you could source a 2.0 bottom end, get that refreshed and then spend a couple of weekends swapping your head over and putting it in.
Though I'd still get a leak down done on your engine first, no point in putting a potentially worn head on a shiny new block.

My thought process was that I'd be able to swap out the engine fairly promptly and not have the car off the road too long, but I guess if I increase the power then I need to fettle the brakes etc!
