Moz_Goodwood 0 Posted November 23, 2008 anything else to consider checking when the engines out? my list at the moment is headgasket, cambelt, aux belt, water pump, tensioner and exhaust gasket. anything else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty_gti 20 Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Just get a HG from Peugeot and you'll be fine. The above sounds fine....just missing headbolts . I would also get the water pump from Peugeot as ive seen copied ones fail within a few hundred miles, I had a tiny leak from mine.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 24, 2008 I'd get a GTi6 Gasket, MLS as std, The turbo one just has very minor upgrading to the ring's around the bores, not sure what they take as I used this on the one I did with 240Lb Ft of torque Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
