I guess you all seen them joy riding his dads corrado in the film?

I’ve swapped out my 18 for 67. This doesn’t seem to make and difference. My 67 clicks as I switch ignition on, does that suggest it’s ok or not? I have ripped out a lot of “Dragon” security kit maybe this is has affected the ignition/immobiliser.

How do my relays look? All in order?

You could bridge your fuel pump relay (167 or 67) or swap relay 109 into it's slot to constantly run your fuel pump on ignition. I have a relay 100 as a spare as it does the same thing - bridges the contacts so the pump runs constantly.

Connect a fuel hose to your lift pump exit and drain the tank. Disconnect your underbody one so it doesn't run dry.

 

 

I’m going to try again with the car. I tried to start the car. Battery seems ok, pump doesn’t prime. Never ending my problems 😩

just seen a chap on ebay doing looms for different cars. With the /oem connectors. 24pounds

No I bought this years ago. I'm sure looms nowadays are far better. I'll take a look for the newer ones or mines never gonna get a MOT

I've got to cut into the existing looks by looks 

Morning. I've got a upgraded loom. I've never fitted it. I would have bought it off here or was directed to somewhere from here. I don't have the fitting diagram. Would anyone have a diagram of what I might need to do to fit it or similar. I'll go take a pic of the loom for you. Cheers 

👍

I seen something similar on a biscuit jar 🤣

siphon is simple m8 from the filler cap, literally shove a hose pipe down there & suck

Fair enough. I did but a siphon so I hope that is ok. I don't fancy sucking 🤮🤣

I've seen these for sale somewhere. Probably heritage vw

Also, the fuel accumalator on the underside I've seen on vw heritage and it's super expensive. Is this something that can cause issues? 

I think my pumps are ok. Anyone know if it's easier to siphon the old fuel out through the boot with the lift pump taken out?

The plugs are fairly old in age but not miles. If that makes a difference? I will change them. I'll try the clutch slave. I got a nice list going. Cheers guys. I'm glad this place is still going. I'll see what places are open tomorrow. 😁

Throttle cable seems ok but the clutch not so much. The selector is fine too.

The clutch pedal on the other hand doesn't come back up like it should so that's an issue. If that's a clutch out issue then I might as well take engine out kind of situation 

This is the plug situation 

I'm at work atm but soon as I'm back I'll take a look at the pedals. The cable and selector could definately sticky and gunked up. I'll get this all looked at. Cheers all. I hope it's all pretty easy stuff. 

It's not MOt'd no, not been for a few years now. It does start mind, but only being able to drive on a small stretch of road behind the house. It's like it has poor throttle response. A new issue for it is that it was getting stuck in 1st gear(this feels like more of a selector issue to be) so there is probably a few things to worry about but I can start by having fresh fuel in it at least

hmmm how much old fuel was in there?

it would have been preferable to drain the old stuff first

92 is an early i think so shouldnt have an anti-siphon filler so should be easy to get the majority out

I'll to that. It's had fuel sat in for a long time 

I really wished there was someone local that could listen to it so I know where to start with it but I've found a decent bloke on YouTube doing a few videos for the 9a about timing it up and air/fuel mixtures so maybe I can sort it myself 

It's 92. No I've not taken any old fuel out just put new into the tank. I've got a pond/flood type pump I could use maybe to empty it. 

It 100% needs a filter. The fuel has been in it a while. I just put a 6 litre can in it. How can you fully empty the tank? Just run it till it stops? 

Morning. I'm gonna have a bit of time over the bank holiday to spend on the car hopefully. It does run and idle but it's not great, not been great for a while really. What jobs can I do to without major engine works to maybe help. Without spending too much if possible..I appreciate it's vague but just wanting things to do. Cheers in advance 

I have a ctek mxs. I recommend that. My battery was pretty flat so I boosted it on my other car recently then chucked this on and worked a treat to get the right voltage and keeps it at the right level now. 

Yea that rings a bell 🤣
