Back at the pom shop

Firstly, we've decided it is a girl.. and her name is Jessie.

Shes gone back to the loon for some medical treatment. Mr.Durie wasnt much help.. didnt really want much to do with her.
She left today and she be in the loon shed by tomorrow arvo.

I'll leave this thread to you loony you can give us all updates on "the cursed jetta".
BREAK THO CURSE!

Jetta Fixing Take 2.

I have some more suitable bits since the last attempt.

Step one will be a kjet fuel pump and accumulator and Mk2 Manifold and fuel dissy. Hopefully that will solve the problem and I can then devote time to cursebreaking and tidying.

If not, New engine will fix it.

I also now have a Mk2 dash loom, that can replace that burned wire you were showing me last time.

I reckon it`ll leave here great.

Accursed thing. If not..... Boat Anchor. (I live by the river too)

dump a 16v in there

dump a 16v in there

Thats What I reckon too. I have all the bits to do a plug and play factory install. Persuade the Nut!

[GoLfMan]

ahhh looney... keep the mutant factory running man a 16v jetta would rock!!!

i just saw the baby on the back of a car mover going through homebushish area abiout an hour ago, there aint many jettas about. i was wondering where it was off to

[Rednut]

hahahaha such a small world. She's off to bootcamp for some toning and strengthening!!

lads,lads,lads.. if i could afford to throw $2k just for the engine.. i would!!!!!! but for now.. i have to be content with the 8v whether it be the 1.8 or the 1.9 (hopefully the 1.9!)

im just hoping for her to be an a-b for now.. until i get the funds flowin nicely.. THEN i'll beefcake her up.. shes only a 20year old teen.. i dont want her maturing too young it'll scar her for life.. (not the good scars)

its good weather season.. so i wont be doin 35+hours a week for a while i dont think.. therefore..nonety beefcakes.

CANT WAIT!

Just collected the old girl and drove her 30 ks home.

Carby is a bit moody when cold, but theres nothing wrong with the engine.

Oil light flashing was a bit unnerving, as was the buzzer when that came on, but I checked and could smell oil. Looks like one of the sensors has carked it and was leaking oil. Shouldn`t be too hard to sort out.

The clock is not working. Wonder if its on the same circuit as the central locking :roll:

Thanks for sending her down with no petrol in, that makes it easier. I love air powered cars

[syncro]

Make sure that you don't mix up the oil pressure sensors. One goes open with low pressure and the other goes closed. One of them only operates above 2000 rpm.

This is for everyones information as a lot of mechanics use the wrong one.

This is for all VW/Audis with dynamic oil pressure indication which was introduced during the '80s.

[Rednut]

im glad that oil buzzer came on for you.. we had no idea what it was..

perhaps they took her for a spin?? i had $20 petrol in her.. and she only did about 20k's.. was just below 1/4 full. PLENTY MATE hehehe.
"woah, never seen one of these..im gonna go for a spin in it"

im going to be without internet access (except at work) so wont be on as much.. TIMING
i think i'll have to get broadband on temporarily whilst im housesitting for the next 4-5months. ive already checked at work and the cabling is adsl enabled.. so if the isp says no.. i'll be shovin the phone cables in there faces!

Jessies engine bay when she arrived here.

1st Thought. There is a bit broken off the back of the carby. Its the choke.

2nd Thought. That includes the vacuum advance for the dissy, also not connected.

Thus she`d start poorly and run hot and flat. thought she was a bit slow on the way home.

Found all the bits for kjet though, Mk2 manifold which turns the right way, fuel pump and accumulator, fuel metering dissy and hoses. Its an injected head, so I reckon the job is on.



Close of play today.

Gonna change the rocker cover, as it has a different bracket. Painted this one for the car the girl blew up. How do you feel about blue? And a cover for the belt?

[Rednut]

lookin good mate. keep it up

ps: adsl is in the provisioning stages.. should have it by next monday hopefully! i'll keep checkin here at work when i am actually working.. COME ON MORE BIG WEATHER CHANGES

[Golf Loon]

Bolted the inlet manifold on today and injectors.

looking more like a GTI every minute. Its so easy with the right bits, rather than having to modify everything.

I`m bolting the rocker cover down tomorrow. Last chance to tell me if you hate blue.

[Rednut]

blue is fine. red would be the obvious choice.. being that red is faster..but blue will do

[Bluerex]

Brakes

So tell us how you moved the brake booster and scrapped those cr@ppy linkages?????
