Re: Mk2 Gt2 running problems

maybe sound silly but try driving around with the fuel cap off. i had a similar sounding issue with mine. maybe be down to the tank no being able to equalize pressure so a vacuum is being created and the pump struggles to pick up fuel.

Re: Mk2 track rod end

Apparently it's just the one size that's adjustable. It's seized on and I imagine that can remove it, but it would be destroyed in the process meaning they would have to fit a new one there and then. Where as it's cheaper if i replace it myself and just get the tracking done (which was all I wanted ...

Venting a petrol tank

Is it possible to get a venting fuel cap for mk2 scirocco? Also where abouts is the venting pipe on a 89 fuel tank? Reason I ask is, is that my tank isn't venting properly. With the fuel cap on, it will randomly judder and cut out on longer trips at higher speeds (above 50). With the fuel cap it, it ...

Re: battery warning light

thank you all for your advice (sorry im a bit late responding). the alternator should be 90amps, well it says 90A on it so im assuming thats the amperage. the blue wire is working as when the wire is connected the voltage over the battery is 13.5v ish and with the wire disconnected its 12.4v ish ...

Re: battery warning light

Altenator was the fault as I Brought a brand new battery for it and that didn't fix the issue.earth's are clean and,only a after market cd player which was fine on the old alternator. The amperage could be the issue, where can I find out which code new one is? So I could compare it to the old one.

Re: fueling issues

so i replaced the vapor pot today, very simple straight forwards swap. only visible difference between the old and new one is that the top line comes out higher, which slightly effect the air box bracket. i decided to cut open the old one to see if had made the right call in replacing it. saw ...

Re: New member, new car :)

Glad I could inspire you, assuming it's a carbed engine.here's what I would do (am doing) change the fuel filter, there £2 on eBay and inspect the old one for crud. Next check the inside of the fuel. Do this by removing the rear seats, and you sell a black plate with 3 screws. Undo theses and remove ...

Re: fueling issues

Re: fueling issues

I do yes, thank you. That is exactly the part I'm after. However I know no its not the sole cause of issue. I replaced the fuel filter today and examined the old one. It was full of little bits of crud. So I removed the fuel pick up unit and had a look in the tank. This is what I saw: http://i779 ...
