its the idle.....ajusted with the bts disconected

chances are you can chop in your old 65a one ...the parts staff aint usualy that sharp

why cant you fix those either :lol: :lol: hows the g60 running :roll:

yeah you can fit a huge one if you find one that bolts one would a 16v 90a not be enough? bolts right on

dont think vag KRs are mega money......my mate at the dealer said theyre most often brand new and not refurbs

im assuming mine is about to fail completely and or weak....so im getting a weak spark thats enough to let the car idle but not much more

okay thanks mav3 dont spose you remeber the seller?? cant see any on at the moment anyone know if theres a rebuilt kit for the hall sender?

is it bosch branded? any signs of it being cheap looking? how long have you ran it? im up for a bargain, but not if its gona die in 18 months

i was thinking it probably was the distributer....money is really tight at the moment, is there a way i can be sure that the fault?? anyone tried a ebay distributer? ive seen them new @ £50 ish

so does the rev counter get fed from the dist??

16v golf gti 1989....been running fine , today i went out and after 1 mile i felt a sudden loss of power for a second and then it was back to normal, as i got further it got to be a random bad misfire/80% power loss. the car didnt stall and would idle normaly, the fault was worse the bigger the load you put on the car while it was doing this the rev counter kept falling to 0 and generaly going mad...im not too clued up on ign related problems but does that point to a hall sender/coil prob? fwiw i yanked on the dist connector and checked the ecu pulg...all appeared fine , no corrosion etc

rightie richie ...lefty leanie

on the mk3's onwards if you hold the key in the unlock position it unwinds all the windows...maybe theres a fiddle to em that makes that happen

just drill the lowest point ...hardly difficult is it

yeah ive jet washed mine loads of times.....cover the distributer and give it all a good soak with gunk and work it in with a paint brush...then blast it well with the jet washer might be a idea to whip the dizzy cap off and dry it afterwards

no , its a spare thats been laying around...so who knows whats got in there im hoping to make sure this one is sound and try it on my golf...for some reason the c/o setting goes out of ajustment often

the main concern wa dirt may have got in there?

yeah mine reads the same

im looking for info/advice on how the k jet fuel distributer comes apart? id like to clean/service a spare one i have here is it straight forward? or better left alone

you can leave the charger on, but you need to remove the main belt to gain access, the pulley needs to come off too i also took the airbox out to make things easier....took me well under a hour all in

im sure jabba would have changed it....its all the cheap bits they put inside you need to worry about as for swaping the belt...turn the pulley and you will see both shafts have a notch , the notches need to point at 12 o clock and line up with a line cast into the case...spin the charger by hand to confirm you got it right before starting up

paid £35 to get new bearings in mine....maybe shop around a bit more

i never noticed much differance on fuel with the 68/chip.....difficult to say really as chances are you will using the new extra power etc

ive replaced the seals on vw's with 100-130 k and theyve lasted another 3 years till i sold the cars on with no more smoke if the engine has got mega miles or been abused then id prob go for guides too the seals just go hard thats why they leak....oh and id suggest genuine ones

arent they the ones that sieze up?? my mate had some wierd charger that was loud as hell and it siezed up
