Sport had 2.2 until 2015 I believe, I have ingenium 2017 timing chains and electrical are the biggest issue with 2.0l so I'm told
2.2 are more expensive hold their value
Evoque and sport share many parts
Great to drive but not as smooth on...
Hats off to u mate and can’t thk u enough
Is becoming clearer as u progress seeing the pictures, know for a fact I would have got myself in a right mess due to lack of knowledge
So pleased it’s in ur capable hands my friend , is that what u...
Hi mate, along as the two joints are nice and tight I always think when it cools it pulls them tighter.
Also access to seam weld along top of your cill would also burn off paint for sure many of the joints are only accessible from the outside...
Its coming on mate, made the wheel arch repair out of three pieces so far, small piece of channel to make at bottom, used cardboard templates, then doing repair piece for the centre cill, would have to be the back part were it tapers, inner cill...
Saga continues been driving around for 500 miles or so no problem, been driving really well, then about three weeks ago it pinged again out of the blue, gearbox sensor range, so decided to bite the bullet and let overland have a diagnostic...
So sorry mate that dent it had before I bought it has caused so much agro
Know it would have left me head scratching in what to do
Am so pleased it’s in very skilled hands mate , finding it extremely informative of how things go together...
Tried a dry fit of inner and outer, they meet quite well right height equally spaced, centre cill bridges gap, but outer showed a gap where it was impacted quite a bit of work straightening but probably worst bit, using a string line lever bar...
Indeed and am beyond grateful for the help
That’s great and hope it helps others in what to look out for , it’s certainly opened my eyes that’s for sure and have a whole new amount of respect for welders in what’s involved
Can clearly see the...
This is a great thread to follow along with. People often underestimate rust and just how involved the repairs are. You've been lucky here Gary to find such a helpful lunatic to take this on!
Most of rot was caused by damage to outer cill but they all suffer at ends of cill all the bits behind plastic that catch mud, I suppose the answer might be to treat all these areas, structurally only removing lip of cill so not an issue also...
Plus 1 and indeed very interesting to see how it should be done
Will be good for future posts when others are having issues of what’s involved in repairing them
Plus of course what areas to keep an eye out for as these discovery’s age
Omg mate as I must confess I never thought for a second it was that involved
Hope ur doing ok and not having to work in this heat
I’m so lucky and feel very blessed it’s in such capable hands and can’t even say how grateful I am. , thk u so...

Hi managed to get end of cill lower wheel arch out today, very rusty will make a new piece maybe in two pieces, but can now get to innercill to release and cut out rust so one more cut and it's going back together hopefully
Bit more...
I would do what is easiest/quickest, less cut out the better for the car.
How are you joggling the steel sheet? I ask as I bought a joggler (cheap one) and it is bloody rubbish.
Hi mate rear part not so good, three layers too have cut out rot in centre part, first will remove rear tub rot roughly white lines this will allow me to remove inner rotten part of cill again roughly marked, as sandwiched between rear tub and...
What you think have cut out damaged outer cill inner cills are rust free, put camera inside no rust or outside or end, don't really want to cut into good factory metal, so have suggested a joggled joint at white line on outer cill at stiffener...
Not to bad so far inner cills in excellent condition cut off some, back half not so good rot to back of inner last foot and under wheel arch liner quite difficult, without burning paint on wheel arch, centre stiffener pushed in 10mm with...
Bless u my friend and knew nothing would get past u , im so extremly grateful
Would u mind replacing the passenger side as well plse so then it takes all the worry away of any rust starting again on the sills
Many thks for giving it a clean ...
Hi mate started fiddling today, front tubs out trim etc front of cills good will decide where to join as access is limited but no rust, will cut off old full along top with 20mm overlap and drill spots on bottom, rear wheel arch will need a quite...
Hi mate removed the back part of the passenger cill cover, managed to get cover self tappers out, Hands up was proved wrong, hole at bottom/back of cill, but they couldn't have known as you couldn't see, and I poked the hole, inside the cill...
That’s awesome news mate , alas they said they had pushed a screwdriver through on both sides of the inner sills
Terrible when ur told porkies with it just being the drivers side
At least it’s handy I’ve got the inner and outer sills if the...
