Kempy

just thought to ask, are 9a and kr dizzy's the same, cause i got a 9a one on my kr head

Im gonna swap dizzys next

Ok I took out the leads on my daily to try them on the satin project to find oil on the middle 2 and a little on the nearest the dizzy :scratch: this doesnt seem good to me :censored:

On the plus side... the dizzy cap, HT leads and coil from my Satin project are in the daily and seemed to have made a very noticeable difference in performance :luvlove:

The acceleration actually pushed me back into my seat, which hadnt happened for a long time in a any of my valvers :D

so im :mad2: about the oil but :scratch: and :D about the perceived performance gains

Afternoon 8)

I had a few hours today on the valver to no success :mad2:

I swapped coils from my daily.. still no spark, the coil from my satin is now in the daily and working fine

I swapped HT Leads from my daily...still no spark, The HT leads from my satin are now in the daily working fine :wink:

I also swapped the dizzy cap but managed to break a connection from the lead from the coil :censored: so I need a new one. Still no spark

I had use of a multimeter and tested the power going into the coil and the plug was reading pretty much 12v

then I tested the lead from the coil ( this read about 9v ) to see if any voltage was being lost and to see the coil was functioning ok, the coil. But Im sure both coils work fine...

Not sure what else now :shrug: :shrug: thanks again

I know a very good place. i'll find out his details asap

GSF do a pattern one (for the original part) which is cheap, it looks the part and I've had no trouble with it at all.

It's possible you just have the seal or valve damaged in the cap though, do you have the original black cap or the superceeding blue one?

reading you got a mk3 golf one?? is that a straight swap?

I got no multimeter :gag: What I can do is swap coils from my daily??

theres no chain on a 16v? only the one on the cams. that doesnt need any special tools, nor do you need special tools for the belts

I dont seem to have enough connections for the senders? My new(KR) head (my car is a 2.0l)

Ive got two, 2 pins on the side of the head

and 2 water temp senders which I have spade connections on

and only 1, 2 pin connector ???

The sender on the back for oil Ive swapped striaght off my 9A head but have no spade for it???

cheers

Its got fuel as the pump primes :shrug:

so i tried to start her up today. It doesn't have spark going to the plugs. I tested the plugs on my daily and there was spark. So what could it be? The rotor arm spins, and dizzy is newish. I don't know much else as for as ignition

now thats somewhere I enjoy tbh, in the summer with a few tins and plenty of balls (golf).

I just played the Celtic Manor Resort

on the playstaion :D

we did this car a favour! saving as much of it as we can! :clap:

 

 

 

Hi

Fay any plans to go back??? :)

if you do I need a front bumper guide seen in this photo.

Thought i'd be cheeky and ask I could just pick it up from work next time i was in the area.

 

No worries if not.

What scrappie is it?

ta.

 

any chance of going back :grin:

 

Kris Pls excuse thread hijack.

I remember seeing a vinyl guy in a market upstairs recently( but that could have been cardiff) Now LePub is still going, as for anything else remotely intresting is saddly gone, newport gets worse. I don't think i'll be going out into Newport ever again.

WILLY I done 500 miles last weekend in my corrado from south wales to northwales via kidde. The car was great and the roads were amazing, now your probably just gonna do motorway miles so I'd take up the offer :ignore:

you can still walk up stow hill and sit in the "amphitheatre"and enjoy beechwood with the young mothers but all the others are gone :(

a gentle sandblastage?

what are the highlights lol, so I can go there next weekend :lol: The only one I can think of is the train to cardiff

Ive save your time and money and not go to the rank celtic manor or newport. Just my opinion :D

Quite gutted i couldnt get it started today, when i added coolant the flange into the head was cracked and water poured out :censored:

this is how it looks anyway

Ive also spotted whilst working on the engine that the charcoal filter doesnt seem to be used?, The hose that should be going into the TH is cut off and has a bolt in it? Is this some kind of mod? ta. Gonna start her up today :eek:

what year golf is the scuttle off? you might be able to get a LHD one and have a custom full lengh scuttle :grin:

went to finish off what I had left to do on the car, first i had to pick up the temp senders. They only got me 1 :censored: . Anyway I went up to the barn to finish what I could. So I ended up doing everything :clap: only have the temp sender to fit when It arrives and add the coolant. Sunday I hope :D Then i can start the beast up I hope

TBH Im a little worried about the fuel injectors, How can I make sure they are fitted securely??

also had a fail with the bonnet catch, but thats sorted, I do need the horny/trumpety bit for the release cable, anyone?!? :shrug:
