053C
12
DE (or OE)
1Z
1438

can anyone confirm this is a 1800 crank please?

Engine & Gearbox / KR 16V Cokdstart Injector
Hi All

My cold start injector is not working, the injector itself is fine.

I have BV in cranking on T2 of the cold start injector N17 when cranking the engine, There is no earth which is supplied by the thermo tme switch F27. I have replaced F26 with a brand new genuine switch but still no earth. I have checked T1/W on F26 which should be earth when the engine id cols and it has 15.9 mega ohms to earth. the body of F26 is crewed int the side of the head and has a good earth. Also T2/G of F26 should be fed with BV on cranking but it is not. I am using the following wiring diagrams:

Any ideas please?

Engine & Gearbox / Speedo Drive
Hi All

I have refitted my instrument panel and speedo drive cable, when i turn the red nylon gear at the gearbox end the needle moves, there is no obvious damage to the drive and it feels like its fitting into the box OK but is there a trick to locating it, i cant see where it sits because of the gearbox oil, the speedo is not working BTW.

Mk2 Parts for Sale & Breaking / Mk2 shell genuine GTI 8V
Hi all, i have a shell for sale, reasonably solid 5 door with glass, doors etc. The original seats and door cards come with it, also in place are the engine and box and running gear, it got power steering as well. I have the V5 and its SORN in my name. There are other bits with the car but essentially you are buying a rolling (just) shell. The car is in Hull, i could trailer it a reasonable distance or arrange transportation if required at extra cost.

Engine & Gearbox / Power Steering Belt Alignment
Hi all, the pulley on my PS pump is way out of alignment, the pulley looks like it should be 10mm or more further away from the pump. Its not dished so i cant flip it. As far as i know its to one that came with the car, the alt & water pump line up fine. There is talk of a spacer and I found a part number (068145193A) but i cant see how that would fit. any ideas?

Engine & Gearbox / No Spark
Hi All
I am completing my rebuild and about to try and start the engine, i bought the car with it removed and have been piecing it together over the last two years, my question related to no spark and as far as i can see no coil switching, i have so far:
Checked the hall sensor, this is fine as when i rotate it the fuel pumps run, I have power on 01 & 15 at the coil, and power and earth to the amp, and I have tried a spare amp as well, I have however noticed that i am missing the idle stabilization control unit under the dash (i have it somewhere but can lay my hand on it as yet) and I am wondering if that being removed would lead to a loss of spark? As far as I can see from the CFD its not part of the ignition side per se, it connected but not in series - any ideas? Phil

Engine & Gearbox / Heater Matrix Pipes
Anyone know how the pipes are plumed? I have a metal manifold inline in mine but it was not fitted in the car when i got it (engine had been removed) so I have no idea where it goes, looks like its some some of valve to aid air bleeds? Phil

Bodywork & Paintwork / N/S Head Lamp rear cover
Hi all, my 1991 16v has a cover over the O/S headlight rear where the air box feed comes from, my question is should the N/S have anything apart from the rubber boot that covers the rear of the bulb?
