You bought it with the fan included? I might have missed if it is already covered, but which brand and art no is that?View attachment 119911

It will be going back
This is, I would assume, a rotifer?Page 5
Who would have thought?
It's a comfy place to be.
The questions have dried up and there's just the odd 'like' thumbs now and again.
Here is a picture of a wheel animal to ponder.

Always a very rewarding moment, good work!Engine working
Yes, as suspected but unconfirmed until I removed that oil sensor.Friday 9th February 2024
Hello
At about 2030 hours I went to the shed to check the condition of a couple of parts taken from the 67k engine.
What I found was damage caused by an engine that has got hot. Hot enough to melt and deform plastic.
Speculation,...
Update 12/02/24
The Mot History Check for CV05 HVT reports that the cooling fan is inoperative
I mixed up the MOT history's, it was KA05JYS that had the inoperative fan.
In this situation it's a gamble on will it or won't it run and run on reliably?
I did see it running before purchasing and checked for the usual HGF signs. I drove the car off the trailer and onto the driveway, can't be all that bad?
On the bright side if a replacement engine is required, fitting will be much quicker as I won't be dismantling a parts car at the same time.
The crystal blue write off has provided many good parts and I fully recommend buying a parts car and saving as much of it as you can.
It's a great learning experience and your not worried about making mistakes when disassembling.
If you have the space, time, tools and gumption to do this.... Go for it.
Still on a Winner!
A twist of fate.....

HGF= head gasket failure
I’ll watch with interest, I won’t be looking at mine for a while longer I feel, got several more serious jobs to do before that gets to the top of the list…(29/02/24)
The radiator was fitted and the engine has done two heat cycles. The VCDS scan reported 17961 Barometric / Manifold Pressure Sensor
P1553 - 35- 10 Implsusable Correlation - Intermittent.
I'll need to log pressure from MAP in VCDS.
What is the giveaway in the pictures for the engine having ran hot in the past?I’ve never successfully fixed a noisy petrol engine head by replacing oil or hydraulic tappets. The ticking noise on both occasions was cased by combustion gasses escaping. One engine had damaged valve seats and the other a small hole in the exhaust manifold gasket.
Your engine looks like it has run a bit hot in the past.
