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

Just get that nut as tight as you can before you let the wheel touch the ground, then do it up some more before you move the car.

I stuffed up a brand new wheel bearing just rolling the car out of the garage about 5 metres because I didn't tighten up the nut enough before moving it.

Pete

thanks pete thats good advice

i will get it very tight

RWC here you come Stu... When its done u got fang down to Aquinas and so the boys

It is really important that you NEVER move the car without a stub axle in the wheel bearing as the bearing will self destruct straight away. No I don't know why and don't ask me how I know. The memory is still painfull and that was a long time ago. The old racing trick of tightening the nut with 3 guys standing on the end of a 2 metre bar goes a long way to ensure the bearing lasts a long time too.

for sure man!

few lil things to fix up but hopefully going for the roady on either sat or monday

[thestu]

remote central locking anyone?


windscreen in nicely! (notice its a gti seal, thanks alex!!!)and i just painted underneath it so i don't have to pull her out again later

Audi style door handles...notice no lock holes (i modified the rear ones to work in 2 door fronts.)

p.s. the bonnet isn't painted i just had left over paint. and the front guard is painted black to stop it rusting...

Looking good mate. Bout time you tidied up that interior though I think!

I trust you busted out the welder.

yes the welder was out and then used metal mend to finish it off

the central locking works a treat!

got some more stuff done yesterday

a fuel pump guard and tidied up the wiring

just wondering that screw that you adjust for the fuel mixture (a hole on above the air meter with an allen key) which way is rich and which way is lean?

and how to i wire up the cold start injector and timer? is it just a matter of powering the wires to ignition?

cheers

This is the very simplified wiring diagram I made for the K-Jet electrical system.

It doesn't have the TCI switch in there, as that's very easy to wire in.

Hope this help's.

For the doubter's, this is exactly how all my K-Jet stuff has been wired in & have never had a problem.



Hope this help's.

Print it out and keep it handy

You need a long 3mm allen key for the mixture. Right is rich, left is lean.
I go in half turns and then quarters when you get close.

Tims sketch is tops. All you need on one bit of A4

[Oneofthegreats]

Cheers Loon.

I should also add that my description of the temp sender is actually a thermo time switch which act's exactly the same as the warm up regulator internal by-metallic spring

[thestu]

cheers guys that just what i need
