In line willwood pressure regulators are the go and newer than 25 year old pressure accumulators.
ok i think i should start a thread and save countless ones asking questions about stuff. I bought this car about 8-9 months ago unrego with heaps of little problems, most um some are fixed but i can live with the others for the time being.
1st thing i want to know is the car has been fitted with rear disks, bigger booster and bigger master, (i think from a kombi). the problem is that the rears lock up under medium - hard braking and i need to fit a pressure regulator. thats all i know so far can any1 help me out getting one and how to fit 1, can i use 1 from a different car??
thanks your help is appreciated

Cool Will make a very unique additionOriginally Posted by silverMK1
that was easy enough to come up with a solution.. NEXT problem....
The car is really hard to start after the 15 min- 2hour, im pretty sure it is fuel pressure i have replaced the accumulator but not 100% if it wasnt broken to start with as it was second hand and from a VOLVO LOL, another thing is when I accelerate though a corner the car cuts out for a mili second and comes on again with a big jerk cause my foot is to the floor.. hehe. when i start it cold it starts first pop but it takes 10-20 seconds for all 4 cylinders to fire it starts with 2 then 3 then all 4 r good.
any ideas?????
the mechanic doesnt want to touch it
the engine is 1.8 k-jet mk2 GTi engine code EV, diesel fuel tank.
hi matt, good to hear the car is still in one peice
you should be able to get those sciroco valves on ebay motors in the US for about $20 us, they come up quite often
hi matt
i do remember that there was a solenoid cut off valve with a relay switch installed near the fuel pump on that car when the conversion was first done, to stopped the loss of fuel pressure, at the time it stopped the hard starting when hot
it might not be workng anymore could be worth checking
it was not the distrbuter as i ran a 16v one for a while & it still did the same thing
the injectors could also be the problerm
you can buy the sonic cleaners for those at adli of all places now quite cheap
let me know what happens
cheers ian
ive checked the solenoid it is doing its job, ive bought the valves off a member on here... when i get some time ill go through the fuel system...
wwooo got the new tail lights on... took me 10 mins to do. its got to be the easiest and 1 of the best mods ive done.. day off tomorrow, ill clean it and take some pics..
