Interior, Upholstery & Trim / Headlining cloth coming down.
Last post by Hutch118 -
Hi everyone, not posted in a very long time and still have my 16V.

My headline cloth has come away from the backing in the rear end of the car, does anyone know if there’s a repair or spray glue I can use to stick it all back up again ? It’s not too bad but don’t want anymore coming down.

Thanks.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Mk2 golf 8v gti crank no start
Last post by Ferg -
Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I was getting ready to take my 1988 mk2 8v GTI to a car show. I’ve had the car 3 years and never had any issues with it. I’d left the radio on and the battery was dead so I jump started it and then charged the battery overnight.
The next morning I took off to the car show and got 10 minutes down the road when the car died. It initially fired up again but died again 2 minutes later. Since then it cranks but won’t start.
The fuel pump is still priming and it’s getting fuel. I took the king lead off the dizzy and put it beside an earth point. It’s only getting one spark when I stop cranking and turn the key off.
I’ve tried a new ignition coil which hasn’t changed anything.
Any other tips on other options to try?

Thanks

Just watched it and thought it looked familiar.
Could be worse, watching Jezza rag it round without a care in the world. Noted a bit of "cross selling" before and after in the vid too!

Hope you are well and not missing your Golf outings !

Mk2 Golf Chat / mk2 golf 1.8T BAM 02m mounts help
Last post by liam90 -
Hello, i need some help regarding engine mounts/brackets on my mk2 golf 1.8T, its a bam engine with a 02m 6speed..
Seems like not many people do a 6speed conversion, all videos on youtube are for o2j's 5speeds and Auq engines etc.

I am using epytec bracket for the gearbox that fits and i am using the standard triple bolt mount for rear , when searching online brackets/mounts for this conversion a single bolt bracket always shows up so i am confused , is the standard triple bolt bracket for rear ok ?

*Note the engine does sit very slightly forward gearbox side by about 2-3cm.. i can't go any further back , the driveshaft of the passenger side wouldn't fit otherwise.

What front engine mount and bracket should i use for the front, seems like there's very little room.

This front mount bracket looks like its not sat on anything apart from the front crossmember , looks like nothings underneath it. (image from ebay epytec)

Still, that's got to be quite the compliment, one of the legendary Top Gear Trio has liked your car enough to actually buy it!
