Make sure there is no water in any other connectors.

The other day I drove through a couple of inches of standing water and since 
then about 30 seconds to a minute after starting it’ll buck and idle really 
rough, have no power for about 30 seconds to a minute then it clears up and 
runs fine. 
When it’s idling rough, I disconnect the sensor and it clears up. 
I’m thinking the O2 heater shorted out. 
Anyway, I ordered a new sensor. 

The biggest deal is that it’s a PITA to change out.

I have two tickets to this Sunday morning 's, Signal Corps spectating, I can't 
make it. They're free for the taking. 
I offered them to the organizers to donate, but they never responded. 
They're fully transferable. So it's legit.

16vers,

 

In an attempt to bring this group to the 21st century, I started a Facebook 
Group where we can more easily share pictures and discussions from our mobile 
phones.

 

If you are interested,  please join.

 

This will not replace the email list which has a long useful archive of 
valuable content but will be a supplement that should drive more members to the 
email list and both the email list and the group should be mutually beneficial 
to each other.

 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/mk216v/ 

 

any thoughts or feedback on this experiment are welcome,

 

Larry

91 GTI 16V

Re: [mk2-16v] 1991 gti oil buzzer went off, engine started loping, and screeching noises in engine bay

[jlagnese]

You can use a mechanic's stethoscope, large screwdriver, large extension, or a 
hose to isolate the source of the sounds.

I was thinking the same thing. But with the symptoms he's reporting, the 
possibilities are numerous. Since the engine starts and runs, I would be 
looking at the rotating ancilliaries. 
Do any of the pulleys wobble? Since it sounds like someone removed the A/C, 
they may have messed up something with the v-belt system, depending on exactly 
how they removed the A/C compressor. Like did they leave all the pulleys in 
place, except the one on the compressor itself? As I recall, the A/C drive belt 
is a wider, heavier duty belt than the rest. Then I wonder if the power 
steering pump and water pump are turning freely. If one of those is frozen, or 
partially locked up, that could be a problem. As I mentioned before, trying to 
trouble shoot this via textual description is nigh on impossible. If any of one 
of our more knowledgeable members is located geographically close to this guy, 
maybe we could be of more help.

One idea I thought might be part of the problem. Check that the timing belt 
tensioner is good. When those bearings go bad, it can make a lot of noise 
(buzzer?) It can also compromise timing which would make the motor run badly, 
especially if the belt jumped a tooth. Just a thought

Another thing you could do that may help to identify the source of the problem 
is take a magnet, like one of those extendable magnetic retrievers, and see if 
it picks up the metallic shavings you mentioned. If they're non magnetic, then 
it may indicate that something is rubbing against the head. Just a 
suggestion...

sorry this car has a 16v motor. i have been driving it for a couple months so 
the noise and loping is definately different and made me want to shut the car 
off. 


no ac hardware installed i think somebody yanked it and did things the wrong 
way. 


i got a bently manual and assume i will have to break things down to check, i 
guess i was just looking for some real world experience. 


i just assumed something was getting jammed up in a way to put load on the 
timing belt side to make it lope at idle. but that coupled with the oil light 
and shavings near the im shaft makes me fear its the engine side. i can't even 
move a pulley when tugging by hand right now. 


i had a diesel vacuum pump sieze up once and stopped the im shaft dead. you 
could hear the belt screeching, oil light went off and you could smell the 
belt. that was the craziest thing i have ever seen, was using a rotary type and 
the gear shaved grooves into the cover. 




after i got it towed home last night i had to start it and move it onto the 
driveway. started and ran as normal with no oil pressure light but i didn't 
want to warm it up. wasn't loping but all the clattery racket/scratching can be 
heard especially after stabbing the throttle and letting off.

The 8v distributor runs off of the intermediate shaft along with the oil pump. 
If it jumped a tooth or two the spark timing would be off. The 16v dizzy runs 
off the cam. 
Does it have A/C?

I'm new to these cars. I got one of these a few months ago and planned on using 
it as a project to restore for fun. I have been driving it as is because it 
worked. I do have to get it smogged and clean up some neglect but it was 
getting me around ok with no funky noises. 


Yesterday I came off the freeway and all of a sudden the high pressure oil 
buzzer constantly started going off. I heard a racket of screeches and clunks 
in the engine bay and the engine was loping near idle speed. So too many wierd 
things at once to ignore, but I had to get off the road so i probably ran the 
car about a minute after before turning it off. just putting my safety first 
because of where i was vs. potentially blowing up a motor. 


i had to work and came back to cold car. i have good fluids and started it up 
for a bit. it ran with just the hint of stumbling although i don't know if 
these cars typically do that while warming up. it wasn't loping the same. i 
reved it and didn't get the light to come on but noticed the racket sounded 
like its on the drive belt system. while engine was running only odd thing i 
noticed is shavings i think near the intermediate shaft from the lower
