Hello everyone, I've just started work on my 8v K-jet and have not been getting any fuel up to the metering unit and the fuel pumps wont prime when the key is turned like they used to before I stuck it in the garage for a long time a while a go. I have replaced the pump in the tank because the old one fell to bits and I have also put a new fuel pump relay in, I have power to the tank pump wiring (3 pin) and the fuel gauge moves when I move the float.
At first I thought it might be something to do with the alarm that has been fitted a toad something or other. Would anyone know how I can test the in tank pump to know I havent bought a duff one and the pump under the car so I dont go buying one without needing it? I dont have a power probe so can i just connect up some crocodile clips to the pins and it will run?
Hello everyone, I have bought a lovely little Mk2 GTI 8v on a B reg late 84 plate. The car came with no history what so ever and was just wondering if anyone knew any ways I can get some history on the car, the mileage is suspiciously low being 8485, I did a MOT check on the GOV site and the last MOT was in 2006 and the milage was at 7,277. I would be seriously floored if the mileage was geniune and was just hoping there are any ways to check history or if there are any tricks to telling if the mileage has been clocked or the panel has been swapped out in the past. The car was sat up since 2007 at the earliest in a garage for most of time and there is hardly any rust to be seen for the most part and I havent had the chance to crack open the engine to look at the condition of the cylinders or the pistions just yet but I am planning on it once I have the car to a place I can get working on it as its a non runner due to the fuel pump in the tank has given up.
I'm no stanger to a spanner but this is my first VW older than 2000 and my first time ever coming across a K-Jet fuel system so any and all advice will be very much appreciated when it comes to things to check on it as well any info anyone can give me about finding history ect.
sorry if this post is in the wrong place and thanks in advance to everyone, I look foward to picking your brains and sharing my woes once my little resto starts
