Hey All, Contemplating a complete engine rebuild in the not so distant future. I have build inline four's before...but this will be my first flat four. I know the bentley always shows the factory tools to do certain things like "pulling the distributor drive gear" and things like that. But I have found with building inline fours that a lot of the times you can use something else or make a tool to do the job. My question is...what tools are essential with doing an engine rebuild on a flat four? And seconds....Is there an email fact that someone has made up with step by step instructions on removal and installation as well as tear down and rebuild steps? The Bentley for the Vanagons is really weak compared to the Bentley for Scirocco's and Golfs. I am going to be rebuilding a 2.1 liter. Any help would be great. Just want to make sure I have all my ducks in order before I jump into this. Thanks everyone... Jesse 86 scirocco 89 vanagon |
