1.6IDI Not Fully Rotating/Not Starting

[RabbitJockey]

i believe there is a nice kit for the steering column bearing these days.

in the past or just for a temporary fix many just push it back into place and then use a hose clamp to hold it there.

Yeah, pulling out that steering column is a bite.  Mostly due to the knuckle thing that always seems to be tighter than it needs to be.

And the flying flat springy thing.

OH YEAH, I forgot about that.  Toughest thing to install on a VW I believe.  I may not be able to get one back in with the lack of hand strength these days.

Hello all,

I know it's been a very long time, life gets in the way sometimes. I discovered that my head was cracked beyond the ability to repair it, so I am in need of a head unfortunately. One day I'll get the thing running, and I'll be sure to update, if anybody still cares to listen!

I see heads for sale on CL and Market place from time to time.  Which one are you in need of and about how much do you have saved to buy it?

[Mohatanous]

I am in need of a 12mm head for a 1.6L. I have the money to buy it, just trying to find one that looks decent from a reputable source at this point.

OK, if I see anything in the next week or so I will let you know via PM and a link to the ad or sale.
