NEW 2 Door golf! :D:D:D:D:D

[thestu]

the airbox is mounted on the other side mate, behind the battery horizontally

dom

are you joking?

this motors one is mounted where i have it

[Volvo Driver]

That's the air meter/fuel injection unit in the corner yeah? on my b28 with K-jet had the flap side at the start of the intake going through the TB behind it, how is it going to connect on this?

Crossmember, well I thought you pulled everything apart?

[Peter Jones]

Looking Good Stu,

Which TB is that? I've got a spare 52/35 here if it's the smaller kind.

Don't worry, I can't find a crossmember in a Mk1 either.

Pete

[Volvo Driver]

Must be the gearbox then, what's to the left just above the gearbox attatched to the chassis rail that looks rather nasty then?

Pete

sorry but whats TB? is it timing belt?

have you got an early model reverse switch that i can hook up to this one...it has a late modle plug on it

haha yeh the crossmember...maybe i forgot it

TB as in throttle body gumpy.

I think Pete may have a spare volvo one..

Which is the bigger one, that you want to put on


oh and the cross member, isn't that just below the dooverlacky?

[Peter Jones]

Yep throttle Body was what I was rambling on about. The later MK2 and Audi one have a 52mm primary and a 35 mm secondary butterfly (from memory) which is the biggest bolt up type available. Some of the GTI motors had the smaller kind.

I have a spare Audi one here that I bought by mistake think I had the smaller type. I think I only paid $20 for it, yours at that price if it suits.

I think volvodriver is referring to your rusty gearbox mount.

You should be able to hook up that late model reverse switch in the box, the 1600 micro switch ones suck. They're easy to wire up and work fine, from memory they're 2 pin devices - just plug in the original wiring. If it's got more than 2 pins just google up the wiring, it's just a matter of knowing which 2 pins to use.

I can check mine for you, I've got all types, but I'm laid up in bed for a week recovering from knee surgery, so it won't be 'till the weekend at the earliest.

Look forward to seeing it on the road.

I have a co meter and know how to set the mixture on a KJet now, you'll have to bring it around for a tune when it's done.

Pete

oh i completely understand now thanks pete!

i shall tell you about the TB when i swap over the exhaust in a few weeks i shall measure it!

as for the reverse sensor i managed to take the one off my old 4 speed box and it just bolted on...it has a little arm and when it is pushed into reverse the arm presses down and pushes the switch button. i don't know what type that would be...i shall find out tomorrow if it works

thanks mate your a chap. hope your surgery went well and its all better very soon

Those are the microswitch kind, they aren't very reliable, if you can, wire up the late model one that's screwed into the gearbox (looks like a temp sender) you'll be far better off that way. Those early ones always play up and usually at the worst time, like in the middle of a RWC.

Pete

ok the ones that screw in, they are quite large? and they screw in above the bell housing?

[Peter Jones]

Nope about the same size as a temp sender, it's over near the shift linkage.

The big hole in the bell housing is just there to see the timing mark on the flywheel. I should have a cover in it, which can be a RWC requirement depending on how uptight the inspecticor is. I think I've got a spare or two

I think all 5 speeds had the screw in kind. I'll see if I can find a pic.

If your's doesn't you might be stuck with the old style switch.

ok damn it!

well i shall see if it works 2moz

if not, new alternatives!

[Peter Jones]

This is how mine looks.


You can see the little sender just beside the selector housing. I reckon there's a square recess on you box in this area which might be for a switch.

Like this one

I'll have a look and see if I can confirm.
