Most likelyYes and about 25kg heavier as a result.
The jump from 75bhp to 135bhp should make up for that though

A late shift put in after work, but the new engine is back in with a new timing kit and waterpump and complete new clutch kit.
Plumbing in starts tomorrow.
That’s what I was thinking. It was starting on the button in the garage but I think now that I’ve driven it briefly the AUA ecu is struggling with the increased demands.The clocks and key will be with you next week . Will run better with the AUB ECU.
The injectors are bigger and the TB is twice the size .
Where’s the exhaust hole Steve?Spent a couple of hours out there today and got the car finished off. Just a gear selector reset needed now I think.
I think the bigger injectors are causing issues with starting as it seems to be getting flooded. @celsisone is sorting me out with a solution for me to be able to run a AUB ecu which should sort the fuelling out.
Had to use an unconventional method for bleeding the clutch after the normal methods didn’t work. My mate blew the fluid out while I closed the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder

So apart from a hole in the exhaust that needs welding up I’ve now got a working 2000 model 1.6 A2.

The downpipe is a polo GTI 4 branch one that doesn’t have a pre-cat for the lambda to attach to. Brett has welded a captive nut type arrangement on the downpipe to attach the lambda.Where’s the exhaust hole Steve?
