Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I’ve already gone through all the earth cables and checked all of them and cleaned them all up.

Check how tight your earth cable to the engine is.
If it's loosened off, you could have spiked the ECU.

For the hassle you are better off replacing it as to do it properly it needs to come out, itll never stick with residue left on it, you can buy them here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144738779353?

Interior, Upholstery & Trim / Headlining cloth coming down.

Last post by Hutch118 - July 24, 2026, 06:49:59 PM

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 - July 24, 2026, 11:46:29 AM

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 !
