  1. A genuine exchange VW unit if you can afford it. What is the engine code?
  2. Relay number four is the X relay which provides power to the headlights, wipers, heater blower etc. If this relay clicks, it is a good indication of a faulty ignition switch that could also cause your other problem.
  3. Not if it's a 2E2 Pierburg carb!

    Broken Screw

    Almost every car we have to do discs on needs at least one drilling out.
  5. Look on the distributor body top edge with the cap off and you will see a small notch, which is number one. Put the cap back on and look for the lead that corresponds to that notch and then follow the arrow on the outside of the distributor body in the firing order 1, 3, 4, 2. If someone has told you 1, 4, 3, 2, that is for the flat four motor. The mixture is enriched by turning the screw clockwise.
  6. Are you still getting the clicking from the fuse box?
  7. Stick with K-Jet, just get it fixed. I had one in a few weeks back that the customer (a reasonably skilled mechanic) had been trying to fix and it ran like a dog. He was on about Webers, bike carbs and God knows what else and it turned out to be two small faults, one introduced when he was trying to fix it. Unless you are prepared to make the jump to throttle body injection or a 1.8T conversion, it just isn’t worth the pain. I have a saying, carburettors have a serious fuel injection problem, they aren’t.
  8. You know, I struggle to agree with this OBD II definition.
  9. Only if you are happy to run on Shell V Power all the time.
  10. Not easy to live with, stick with K-Jet.
  11. It is bent, it attaches to the engine mount upper bracket.
  12. There isn't a procedure as such, just make sure the caliper levers fully return when the handbrake is released. Which rear calipers are you using?

    gearbox

    Sorry, meant to say, it is a 4 cylinder bell housing 02A series but as DiTch says, the ratios are different.
  14. It can be done but you need some special spring compressors such as the Klann KL-0015 and they are very expensive.

    temp guage

    How are you measuring the temp cut in, by the gauge?
  16. What do you mean by it revs really high in 5th, 5K in 5th is around 110 mph, you need to clarify this. Wear in the box selector is common and it needs rebuilding.
  17. Change the ECU relay at position 3 with the number 109 on top. The part number has changed from 357 906 381 to 1J0 906 381 A. The cost just under £11 from VW and a decent dealer should stock one.
  18. Have you checked that the overrun cut off valve under the air box boot/pipe is connected?
  19. Spot on Supercharged, it's not rich it is way too lean-too much oxygen and not enough fuel. If you had an 020 box with rod shift gears you would have melted the linkage bushes as well. You need to get the fuelling increased.
  20. You can fit the PG (right and left hand drive are different) downpipe to a KR manifold and then into a Supersprint 51-cm Golf G60 cat bypass pipe and then the KR exhaust will mate up perfectly to the cat pipe. We do this on Golf 2 conversions where we want to add a lambda sensor for throttle body conversions on 16v's and on 8v Digifant models when we add a piggy back ECU controller with a lambda function.
  21. It sounds like it is over fuelling, is the smoke black and sooty?
