Hi all, does anyone know if there is a lifter pump in the fuel tank of a mk2 storm 1984 DX engine?
It's a k-jet 1.8i.
There is a weird gurgling noise coming from that general direction which I can only think is a lifter pump in the fuel tank.
The noise is only there when the car is running, it ...

Spotted a green Mk2 in theale, Reading two weeks ago. Didn't catch Reg or model but looked like a nice example

Thank you, ordered. Now for the fun part of tripping the clocks down... or I just won't drive at night

Evening all! Does anyone have a part number for the main beam warning light in the instrument cluster, or where to find one? It's on a mk2.
Two days before the MOT and it's decided it no longer wants to work

thanks Mark / Chopperoli. Fuel came out of the rear screw on the accumulator so i will replace this unit.
Its proving tricky to track down the correct one. It seems there are a load of different part numbers on the market, but confirming compatibility is proving tricky!

Brilliant, thank you! I will check tomorrow.
it is an injection model so this is very helpful.
The fuel pump was replaced recently (separate issue) and with it the non return valve.
What is the main purpose of the accumulator?

Evening all!
I am having issues re-starting the car once the engine is up to normal operating temperature.
Cold starts are fine with no issues.
Warm starts are an issue.
When turning the key it seems to take an age to turn over once it has finished spluttering around before firing into life albeit ...

Just looked on carparts4 less and to be fair they are cheaper! i have never used them before.

Danny i am in Reading

Morning all!
i need some advise please...
i need a new fuel pump for my MK2 storm, 1984. The pump required is the one which sits under the vehicle near the rear wheel.
Where is the best place to pick one up?
VW heritage currently has none in stock
Euro car parts want £190 for a Bosh fuel pump
Ebay ...

I am looking to replace the front and rear suspension so i was just looking for a few pointers... i dont want anything lowered and i want to replace the strut and springs as mine are in bad shape.
Am i right in saying mk1 golf struts fit a mk2 scirocco? Also does anyone know of good value for money ...

Is it adjustable? sounds like it just bottoms out??? Can someone watch you drive off the curb to see what happens? in terms of weight distribution theres a lot of weight on the side thats on the road if one side is on the curb

i'd be interested to know how many storms are left out there...

Does anyone recommend a good car cover....unfortunately i do not have a garage and there are none to rent round here so i was hoping someone will be able to point me in the direction of a good car cover for outside use?
I did have a crappy halfords get out of trouble job but surprise surprise ...

yeah unfortunately lots of short journeys, over the winter period i rarely use it so its sat outside (no garage ) but ran the engine for 20 mins to get it warm just so its not sat there for weeks on end not being driven or started up!
Might have to try the italian tune up idea i think....

Ah my worries are somewhat subsided thanks fellas! I will just keep an eye on the coolant level i guess, i did try the hand in smoke sniff test but i couldn't distinguish between coolant smell and normal lethal gas smell!
