(01-02-2014, 10:27 AM)JB3 how did you kill the GTI?
nothing! according to the mechanic it probably ate the valvetrain which i found out is a common thing on these cars - vw extended the warranty to 120k but mine was at 129k when it happened. :-\
took the 240D to work today with great success. 50 miles to work in stop and go traffic, 50 miles home cruising at 75mph with no traffic. didn't overheat in either case which is a relief. there is a vibration at speed that is independent of the engine (clutch in and idle coasting at 75mph to check this). i'm 99% sure it's the driveshaft vibrating which i would guess is one of two things - either the u-joint is not used to being in proper position since i put a new center support bearing/bracket, or i reassembled the driveshaft halves in the wrong position with respect to each other. unfortunately since i didnt mark them before i did the engine swap, and it's an older 240 (no markings to show the alignment of the halves) i don't know how i'm going to fix that other than trying different positions.....
but other than the driveshaft vibration and bad ignition shutoff vac valve, everything is absolutely perfect and awesome!
