Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice which may help me work out how I managed to kill my car this evening.

The car was running perfectly up until I decided to try and fit an MSD ignit ...

Just wanted to let you know that I managed to work out the cause of my ignition cutting out. Whilst parked on the side of the parkway on my way home from work last night as a result of the ignition cu ...

Thanks for the tips.
I took the CDI unit out this morning, gave it a few hits with a screwdriver and hooked it back up and the car turned over just fine. Maybe I managed to establish a more solid gro ...

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with their ignition dropping out.

For the last 12 months or so, my ignition has been cutting out at very random intervals - I can drive for weeks without ...

I had a similar issue with my car when I first bought it and the problem was due to the boot between the Air/Fuel Distributor and Turbo neck being cracked and leaking air.

Could also be a dodgy fuel pump relay connection. I had a similar problem which was caused by carbon build up on the relay board pins. Once I cleaned them up and it started every time.

Yes it is a 3mm hex key. It is very sensitive to adjustments so only turn 1/8-1/4 turn at a time. One full turn will most likely screw it up.

I agree with smoothie. The vacuum limiter is unlikely to be suspect. I had the same issue with my 931 and it was due to the mixture being too lean. I replaced all of the vacuum lines - this helped a l ...

Your mixture is too rich. Fluctuating idle particularly after a hard run is a classic sign of a rich mixture - the fact that you said that the AFR is 12:1 is proof of a too rich setting. There's not m ...

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone with a series 1 turbo can tell me if their idle speed fluctuates and if so by how much. Currently, my idle speed varies between 850-1050rpm when the engine is warm. It ...

One part # is for a pair of rear bushes and the other part # for a pair of forward bushes - enough to do each control arm.

FYI, the part number for the Superpro bushes were - SPF647K (Inboard) & SPF648K (Outboard). They are even a cool purple colour and are the same part # as for the Mk1 Golf.

By the way, the firs ...

It would be easier to have a nylon bush machined up as OEM parts aren't available for the rack - it is supposed to be a throw away item (most expensive throw away item I've ever seen.) Just measure th ...

I picked up a complete set of Super Pro poly bushes for $50 at an end of financial year stocktake sale - they were the last set and I had to wipe the dust off them. The normal retail price is approx $ ...

Took me about 1/2 hr to strip it and the same to put it back together. Ceaning the 30yr old grease off the pinion, bearings and rack was another matter however - parts washers are a great thing if you ...
