Hi, my name is Peter and i just thought i'd join your forum to read a bit more about modification... I'm (soon to be) driving a Golf GTI mk2. Just bought it for £150, its got a dent in the back from a previous owner but on the way home the top half of the engine siezed while my dad was driving it, i didn't even get a go in it
As my dad is an engineer, we've been working on it at home, so far just exposed the camshaft and thats ok, so its probably a bent valve or something with a piston or both.
Thats it for now, i'll keep you updated if anyone's interested,
Pete
