cambelt is set to tdc mate im talking ignition timing

i replaced the blue temp sensor with a new genuine one from vw and i still have the same issue :( i also double checked the timing on the timing belt end this time incase the flywheel wasn't correct but its bang on 6 degrees i didn't need to adjust it i will try an sns chip but the car ran good before so i really need to find whats gone wrong first im begining to think its fuel related, blocked fuel filter/injectors/ kinked hose which folds more with extra heat. il keep this updated but for now im locking it away as im going on a long holiday :)

i re checked the timing and set it to 6 degrees without it jumping around this time. the coil was in a bad location and i earthed the bracket to the head ive also tried 3 idle valves in total, one from a working rallye. it still does it once its hot will try a blue sensor and order an o ring or complete screw if i can next

There is a chance is not calibrated like an sns one for example since they were off the shelf and no different depending on intercooler size, fpr rating or injector rating etc unless i was mistaken. I will be ordering an sns one once ive got the thing running properly and serviced the charger il have another go at timing it. Im thinking its to do with timing being so far out hence its also affected the idle what would cause the timing mark to jump around when setting up ?

dizzy is brand new it hasn't even covered 500 miles, forgot to mention ive got some red ex in there atm. ive heard it can leave crap on the o2 sensor, but saying this ive run it with the o2 disconnected i do have the coil mounted on the block temporarily (don't ask) im wondering if its playing up once it gets hot, i will swap the blue sensor i have a working one in the glove box ;)

i have a couple of problems with the g60 i have a misfire once the car is up to temperature, usually over 80 degrees - coolant temp. It back fires and splutters on hard acceleration. I have disconnected the lambda and it still does it (no change in running), ive swapped the blue coolant sensor with the black one, no change again. i did set the timing as per guides, the only thing i can say about that is the 0 on the flywheel was jumping about a little and not staying in the middle The other problem is the idle, from cold it sits just above 1000 and once warmed up it sits just below 1000. ive set it up as per guides but always goes back to the above once ive reconnected the blue sensor and rev'd 3 times etc its a 1h rallye engine with the superchips small pully and chip, merc FMIC, 4 branch and exhaust system, its using a normal g60 ecu not the rallye one This is all fitted in my mk1 gti thanks

latest pics after some cleaning, including wet vaxing the interior and jet washing the engine bay which i did this weekend, having trouble selling this, so i just keep doing jobs on it when im bored as if im going to keep it. Everytime i look at it i want to keep it lol ---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ---------- ideally the air filter needs to be away from the hot air comming in from the fan but im having an op on my shoulder in the morning so no chance of that happening :(

ups

what do you guys think?

reduced to a more realistic price of £1700

for sale, will get a fresh mot before the sale, £2400 private plate valued at 700 will put up an ad in a bit

lol @ the jubilie clip idea, sorry id like to hold on to the charger for future project mockups. so, charger stuff all removed, and new timing belt fitted, what a nightmare job!!! which left me with this problem plug is standard on all 8v golfs, sorted! got my hands on an 06 plate mini charger with the black teflon coated rotors and then got a mate to knock up this charger outlet for me, all painted up ready to be fitted i then made a call to my good friend N7NDO off ed38 and after a brief conversation a few days later he turned up at my house with a ready to fit bracket! we had it fitted in about 20 mins.. He also traced down a bad misfire to a dodgy lead so replaced these with some 8mm silicone leads inlet fitted job done! been sat on the drive for over a week, havent even taken it round the block yet as the car has no air filter, tax, tkt or insurance so cant report back on its performance just yet.

Heres my new project, ive known this car for years and recently had the opportunity to buy it at a fair price. Here it is after many hours of da polishing action, i hope you agree its looking not too bad. obviously there had to be a catch right? to be continued...........
