Hi Mozz, the rain combined with a few unexpected family expenses (my wife has spent $4K on her ageing cat at the vet in the last 2 months!) has slowed things down. I've started preparing the new...
I'm no expert on Mk4's (except for starter problems arising from not doing up the earth strap on the top of the gearbox, after a clutch change:facepalm: NRMA told my wife the starter was toast!!)
...
On a serious note I think you could be on to the cause. Leaning out under load could well cause the problem you've described. Just don't ask me to give any suggestions on why the K-Jet is doing it,...
Hey Tommie......There's always one in every crowd!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Although.................It's a costly fix but it would solve the problem!
Nah,then it wouldn't run well without load, if at all.
Hi Tommie, I'm assuming the car wasn't running when you pulled the motor out?
It sounds like an ignition problem, I'd assumed that they were electronic dizzys, if so check the ignition module, if...
Bump, the Avus R's on Gumtree were already gone.
Someone out there must know of a pair.
If you bought my old Mk1 you have a set!:facepalm:
Cheers, Scott.
Hi Tommie, I hope it's a simple fix, I can't be of much use to you, I'm way out of my depth with tuning K-Jet!
It sounds like Mtech knows a bit!
It's actually Potassium Hydroxide one step up...
Looking good Tommie, you really are burning the midnight oil!
The marine clean has the same active ingredient as the oven and grill cleaner, so it destroys anything oil based.
POR-15 is an awesome...
Wow that is insane!!! A superbly set up car and a driver who knows how to drive it!
I tried to take a screen shot of the two wheel incident, and another of him 4 wheel drifting with the right...
Yeah George he is lucky, My parts shed is full, and I don't have another one ..... YET!!!
Gertting parcels in the mail is always awesome!!!... Though expensive sometimes!:facepalm:

Hi Tommie,
She's looking great! ..See I told you it would come together quickly!
For the fuel tank there is a product out there called oven and grill cleaner, it is sold under different names by...
I had a successful (but big) day yesterday, I took the golf in to my good mate John's shop.
After measuring up the damage he deemed it was not bad enough to put on the robot, so we set it up on the...
Thanks I've sent them a message, they were listed a while back, then taken off as sold. I missed the new listing!
Cheers Scott.
They are sensational, Tommie! They look like they're straight out of the factory!
Is the GTI back ??? Pics please.
Cheers, Scotty.
Give him time Paul................. he's only 8:rolleyes:
On another note tomorrow is the day!!!!:banana:
Ill take plenty of photos of course!
Paul That won't work the bus goes past the end of our driveway, which is only 100 metres away, the bins are at a mates place 1K up the road hence the 2K drive! That's all irrelevant though because...
So I guess that I should give you guys an update seeing as a bit has gone on lately!
Patience isn't on of my virtues, so whilst waiting, for my mate to give me time on his Autorobot, I decided to...
OOOHHH YEAAAHHH!
Black is just soooo much shiner than any other colour out of the booth too!
Now the fun begins!!!
I assume you're referring to the VR6 12V motor, my original plan was bora 4motion 24v, but capacity is too high for a turbo application in a Mk1.
so that plan got ruled out!!:facepalm:
Surely out of all you mk3 guys somebody must Know if a later model 20v head will bolt onto the 2.0l block, I understand there will be mods needed, but can it be done??
I have an AGG code motor and...
I had it happen to my wife's Mk3 years ago, it's an easy fix once you get the door trim off!
Its a hard task with the door closed, but doable if you're patient.
then release the latch from inside...
Wicked segment you got there! :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:x2
13.5 at altitude and poor track is awesome.
my old turbo Gemini was running 13.0 on a good day at...
Wanted to buy TSW Avus R or Hockenheim R rims 4 X 100 stud pattern to suit Mk1 golf as per pictures below.
I'm pretty sure in 15s they only come in 7inch but open to anything including 16s
