angle housing (I think?), just one of the bolts has snapped off inside the actual housing - not flush so probably removable with better access and some vice grips.

    Tons of Penetrene.

    Vice grips never work.

    Drill and extract the rest.

    I have 5 or 6 spare angle housings

    Also I looked and I already sold the steering rack, however if its the same as any other P2 and only difference is the inner/outer tie rods then I have like 5 of them

      Well I've no idea @Philia_Bear!

      I have P/N 30723825 listed as exchange for...

      3074147630636297307643383120096831280335

      So should be a fair chance one fo those 6 will work! You have them all "on the shelf"? Could come up to you tomorrow/Fri if that suited.

      - - -

      Frame is out so i'm ready to get it done (argh. other than that damn turbo bolt..).

      Not sure if the rack leak is from the shaft/top or just dead o-rings on the lines. Not really worth putting it back in with new o-rings to find out that's not it, though..!

      @pastry

      I will do some part searching tonight

      I've got quite a few still bolted to subframes that are out of cars so easy enough to compare and unbolt as needed

      Thanks, you're a good 'un!

      Omfg this car....

      4ish hours later a stud was extracted

      14t turbo with a 6cm angeled housing wtf

      (Td04L)

      Need to go back again tomorrow and sort out the vband for holding the center cartridge to the hotside

      Then start bolting everything together....

      By end of tomorrow the car will run or I will be dead

      This is how I feel sometimes working on my brother in laws BMW...

      I look for the light at the end of the tunnel... and hope that it's not a train

      thanks for the work encouraging that screw to finally give up, guys. It was fun watching. That’s the first bit of help I’ve ever really had in my shed, except for the time @jamesinc turned up wielding his digital calipers.

      we don’t need to get it running tomorrow @Philia_Bear. I’m sure it’d be satisfying but it’s not a hill we need to die on! If we can confidently begin bolting stuff up I’ll be more than happy!

      what a saga.

        I'll plan to see the shed around 1pm tomorrow :-)

        I'll have my music so you can just leave me to make sweet sweet love to the underside of the car

          1 day delay, but car is now mostly back together and looking more like a car

          A hearty thanks to Mike for his time helping me get the subframe and motor lined back up and bolted in today - made a huge difference having you there.

          Thanks, thanks, and thanks again.

          Suspension and brakes to go back in along with some fluids and we should be go..

          Anytime ;-)

          I would highly recommend getting some brake cleaner and cleaning the drivers side wheel hub of all the shock fluid etc that is on it before you put it back together all the way

          Also don't forget to do the haldex and rear diff at some point

          what, you want me to remove my anti-rust hydraulic fluid? ?

            what, you want me to remove my anti-rust hydraulic fluid? ?

            You can spray it back down with ldas after it passes inspection :-)

              aaaand back out of the shed.

              The steering was off by about 20° in the end but easily remedied by removing steering wheel, resetting angle sensor and calibrating – thank god I bought that DiCE unit!

              I looked under the car after a short test drive and there is a little LDAS from the rack area. I am hoping this is where it's expelled air from the system and brought a bit with it? Otherwise.. ?️

              There was still some final assembly work despite all of @Philia_Bear's help, the worst of the lot was trying to extract the rear O2 sensor plug which had got itself out of position.. trapped between sway bar and steering rack.. not sure how we did that. It was an absolute shit to get it out of there!!

              Might be the o-rings on the input and output pipe? I don't think we did them?

              Easy to swap at least with everything in the car

              Hah I did one of them, and somehow got the wrong part for the other.

              ^^ first one MIA

              after a 2nd drive nothing immediately visible so hoping it was just getting settled in.
