URGENT oil pressure stop engine

[Pesky jones]

I cant see any oil dripping... il check tomorrow am. Ive lugged the block 91 and its giving an actual of 33 kw now. Im not really bothered tbh.

Specified and actual match? I did say it was only a tooth out 

Very lucky man not to have damaged anything.

Well done Pesky you've had plenty opportunities to quit!

Tomorrow the engine bay needs all excess oil removed before further testing, especially the top of the gear box, as it will have pools of oil in the casting webs, which will fool you after a test drive thinking you've got issues.

Pesky don't forget to thank all your posters as support keeps us all going!

[Pesky jones]

No specified is still 28 however actual is 35. Is it that big of a deal? I dont fancy doing all this again only for it to potentially end up worse.

Yes, I owe everyone in the thread a massive thankyou, some especially. Without the forum I wouldn't have had a clue where to start. Very gratefull.

I think there's plenty educational aspects in this thread and is worth adding to this how to thread list http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,52731.0.html

I feel it shows if your keen enough there's help and support from fellow enthusiasts to help members undertake a job which would never be normally contemplated by them.

So if Dazza or another mod thinks the same may be it will be added for Pesky's determination!

Heres the video of the start up. Upon watching the video, the engine doesnt sound as good as it does in real life. It ran consistently for about 15 minutes. I think im nearly there, just got to watch out for leaks as doylebros says!

It's still on cold start. Will be fine when warm.

Hmm I probably took these readings five minutes into running. It would be warm by then wouldnt it? Unless its to do with my inline stat problem (long time to get to temp) next job...

Give it some more time.

I find It's always best to have the latest PCV fitted to these engines, I've even had a few PCV fail after turning the cam cover upside down, so as you progress and build a list of jobs to do, check what revision you currently have fitted.

Let's see how it responds under load once you've done all your checks,testes,scans and given the engine a chance to reset a few values.

[Pesky jones]

I have the latest pcv, fitted it when I first got the car. I also did the dipstick pcv test and it passed. Will give it some time and re test the values.

Alex, pm'd you about the vacuum pump

[dazza]

Good work mate sounds better than mine.

When you DIY your cambelt change to the two piece belt cover.

[Andy]

It sounds like it's sorted mate,don't for get when it's stood still ticking over it will take a while to warm up,as Alex says give it time

[Pesky jones]

Taken it out today for abour an hour. Drives and pulls fine, no horrible noises. Sounds better then before now, with the new chain and tensioner. I forgot my laptop now, going to look at the timing in about an hour.

Im honestly over the moon, couldnt have done it without everyones help I cant thank you guys enough
