Thanks dave. Hopefully that will be plan be if I cant get to it from underneath.



Thanks for the kind words man. I too will miss it, but having a mk1 as well as a beetle is just too many 'old...

Thanks jets. I'll have a look in the area you've described. So unusual for a fuel tank to not have a drain plug. Especially for a car of this vintage.

Hey George! Yup still got it. I'm actually getting it ready for sale sometime soon (sadly). Just doesn't get driven that much.

Thanks for the advise also. Removing the fuel line directly at the...

What's the easiest way to drain a fuel tank?

Guys, humble apologies if this has been covered here before (I've done a quick search to no avail) and also for the noob nature of this post. My mate has upgraded his headlights in his mk6 GTi to...

VR6, thanks for the tips mate.
I am unsure if the spark strength is there. I will give your tips a try and see if it works.

Thanks bud!

Anyone have a pair of 15mm 5x112 spacers with CB 66mm going for reasonable money?
May also be looking for a pair in 10mm.
Or alternatively, anyone know a place I can get a set for cheap (apart from...

I haven't, but only because its so bloody hard to see. I'll give it another go this weekend when there is decent light. Thanks George.

Hmmm so the fuel cut solenoid is working fine. Cam belt also looks fine. The only thing I haven't checked are the fuses but I don't think there are any in their that will prevent this thing from...

Thanks abreut. I've located the valve, and while the wiring seams a little dodgy leading upto it, I think its ok. I might rewire it and check it gets 12v.

sports racer, yup still using points. I quickly visually inspected the inside of the dizzy and it all looks ok. Each plug is getting spark so I don't think its ignition related (will more carefully...

Car is a mk1 Golf (76 automatic).

Went to start the car yesterday. It held idle for a few minutes then stalled (which it does sometimes when cold). After a few backfires through the carburettor...

Bump! Anyone have a chrome mk1 badge they would like to sell?

polski thanks VERY much for your offer mate, but golfgti101 has come through for me.

golfgti101, your PM's are full dude! But send through your bank details! Shoot over your mobile number too if...

Guys, I'm looking for the standard mk1 front badge. Anyone know where I can get one other than ebay (which charge $50!!!!)?

Anyone have a spare one around?

Cheers.

Bump!

Anyone have the correct part number for this?

The picture in the manual shows the borsh part number as 0192 052 004 (which is the same as whats already on mu carby GLS).
However,...

I bought these last Monday (6th August) and they have since done maybe 20kms. rrp $220 each.
Selling for $600 for the set. I'll try and get pics up soon.

PM me here if interested.

Cheers

Thanks heaps Pete. Exactly what I was after.

Thanks again bud!
