Thanks bengould i will pm benspares to see if he has one.

Fitted new fuel filter and its still doing it so will try ignition amplifier.

Thanks go-for it,
is the ignition amplifier the electric gadget on the passenger side scuttle panel and if so does
anybody know where i might get a new one?

thanks Steve.

Thanks for the replies guys, absolutely certain its not contamination from tank (its now like new inside and out). The crap in the fuel filter is from before i refurbed the tank. Filler pipe is like new so its not that. Before i started all this work over winter car ran ok and never cut out its just ...

Tried the above as suggested by Tim R (cheers fella), looped a wire between terminals 30 and 87 and it still cuts out so its not the relay. Checked air flow meter and plunger seems ok and also as it cuts out sometimes when its just ticking over i dont think its related to this. I have removed the ...

Thanks for the reply Ian, air flow meter sounds expensive so might try fuel pump relay first as its getting quite hot and im sure ive read somewhere that they can break down if they get hot. I have actually just put another accumalator (used) on as old one was leaking from the little screw on the ...

Hi folks, help needed please. My storm has started cutting out after a few miles (5 or 6) but then starts straight up again then drive another couple of miles and same again. It also happens if its just stood ticking over but always starts straight away. Ive recently fitted a new bosch s5 61 ah ...

Hi, on my MK2 Storm i'm running 7.5 x 16 ET20 fronts with 195/40 tyres (no rubbing at all). Rears are 9 x 16 ET15 with 215/40 tyres (very very slight rubbing over big bumps on drivers side). Car is still fitted with original vw suspension and no rear seat passengers ever carried. Hope this helps ...

Hi folks, does anybody know what size servo was fitted to MK2 Storms as standard?
Haynes (1982 to 1990) says scirocco came with 7" or 9" servos, i thought injection models
had 8" as standard.

Reason i ask is was going to upgrade to MK2 golf 16v. Thanks Steve.

This just gets better and better

Love to see excellent quality work like this on a restoration.

Keep it up

Take off your old boot and take it to ecp, thats what i had to do as the one i ordered from VW was the
wrong size (even with correct chassis & part numbers).

Helpfull guy at ecp in Leeds got every VW boot out until we found one that matched the old one.

I ran my Storm this summer with just glue remaining (scraped sound deadening off in spring),not had any
problem at all.
Not sure about replacing sound deadening as im just in the process of repainting underside of bonnet.

Try Ken Mills Injection for AAV.

Thanks again Ian

Yes it is the low mileage one your correct. Car is in a garage (recommended by seanr68 on here) in Leeds at the moment so will get them to wip it out and have a look for a number. Luckily working only 300 meters from GSF in Bradford next week so will call & see if they have one. Thank's for that mr ...
