That’s why I never do an 02A conversion using the Seat Toledo 1/Passat type 35 LHD cable system, its pants and that’s why VW dropped it on the LHD Passat in 1990. Seat continued to use it because it was cheaper. People carrying out conversions do it this way for the same reason as correctly converting to hydraulic operation is quite a lot of work and a pain with the engine in.

I agree and I will match the price (even though as a Weitec/KW distributor you are not supposed to get involved in a price war-hint!!!!) for the Weitec Hicon TX but include full and detailed illustrated instructions on how not to cock it up!
-
What make of kit?
-
The pump bolts should be tightened up to 20Nm, any more and that will kill the pump. What make of pump was it?
-
The 5 amp is for the electric water pump behind the coil pack, probably a faulty pump as that is very common. I replaced two last week and when they fail, the heater matrix often goes pop!
-
If the relay had gone high resistance, the pump would run slower (less pressure) but the relay would have been getting very hot.
-
Do you know if the conversion was done using a cable or hydraulic mechanism?
-
What torque did you tighten the two M8 13-mm bolts to?
-
Supersprint
-
Which realy did you change, the one at position 3 or 12?
-
You have probably disturbed some none original wiring to an aftermarket alarm or immobiliser.
-
Was the oil pressure light flashing with the engine running?
-
It is for ducting exhaust heated air into the air box in very cold conditions to prevent injector icing but it rarely gets cold enough in the UK for this to be a problem.
-
My train of thought was that a VR6 is five stud and can easily go to 312 front discs and there are more out there with dead engines, too many in fact!
-
They are big but will fit with some work but a 6-speed conversion on the 02A is less trouble.
-
You really need VW tools 3192 and 3192/1 to hold the box and selector end still. If you want, I can mail the procedure if you PM me your e-mail address.
-
G60 would be OK as would a VR6 but a VR6 gearbox won't bolt up so you would need a 4cyl 02A box or the donor car box. A VR6 will accept the 312 brakes and VR6's have ABS/EDL as well which is an advantage.

I have the re-facing tool if you want to drag the car to Nottingham.
-
What Golf is it and what is the engine number?
-
New "O" ring kits.
-
Thermostat housing, plastic inner rim fails and allows the "O" ring to the head to creep inwards causing a coolant leak onto the box.
-
Should be set up hot! Sounds like a faulty coolant temp sender for the idle control ECU. I did an article for the Golf mag a few moths back on setting up a KR, PM me your e-mail address and I will mail it to you.
-
I use new buttons (why are they only available in beige?) and bond the inner section to the buttons using a special plastic glue from Würth and then leave it overnight. It seems to stop the problem.
-
G60 rods are very similar to those on a Golf 1 1.6 GTI (EG engine in Europe), 136-mm long with a 22-mm gudgeon pin (wrist pin to you Yank types), whereas the normal 8v 1.8 rod is 144-mm long with a 20-mm gudgeon pin.

Check the earth from the body to the gearbox bolt and check the ECU pins to see if they are corroded.
