Ah some good ideas there for sure and something to try! we had run jump pack on pumps but only briefly didn't want to over do them dry and work.
Think we need to step back and work out a plan, I have a new dash to fit so might take all dash out and inspect all wiring see if there is anything hidden!
Thanks guys do appreciate all input and things to try!
We will win and be on the road at some point soon hopefully, need this one sorted so i can see my Type 19 Mk2!
Really think it must be an earthing or ECU fault? you say about earthing strap is this fairly normal to happen and would this stop ignition and fuel pumps? im getting everything else working and turning over??
Thanks for your reply, no don't seem to be anything happening reference fuel or spark?? was hoping to find a little cut off switch somewhere been wired in but nothing?
Even with easy start its not even catching on that? should you be able to hear fuel pumps prime when ignition switched on??
Could i be looking more at ECU?? have been having a read up and thought possible?
Sorry yes fresh fuel all done and showing on gauge also so not super low
I'm a lucky owner of a 88 GTI, been sat for many years so a bit of a project but i think should be worth it!
Now first things first was seeing if we can get it running, we have replaced so far....... Plugs Leads Dizzy and rota Coil Both fuel pumps outer and internal Fuel Pump relay
Wiring to fuel pumps seems to be checking out ok, it turns over fine (Done all the checks before trying to start vehicle) Don't seem to get a buzz at all from pumps so don't seem like they are priming and spark is weak to non existent (This was the case before and after changing plugs)
Can some one help at all?? other things to check or replace? electrics is not our strongest point but can wobble through with learner plates on
Thank you, well it’s been sat for ten years so a lot needs to be done but really happy on its condition, will get some pictures up when I can work it out, my other mk2 is low and on banded steels so might go for something different with this one 🤔
New to site here, currently have a mk2 1.3c been using that for past 5years, and just purchased another project a 1988 mk2 gti which I'm hoping for some help with soon please!
