[mk2-16v] Injector hose repair

My 250W halogen work light/garage heater went and melted a hole in an injector hose (not while it was installed). Can I repair it with hose and clamps? If so what should I do and/or NOT do? Hose type, brand, clamps, kits, any advice will help. Thanks, Steve -- You received this message

Yeah, Collin's the guy. He answered every question I had. You don't repair those lines with hose and clamps. He can get me a used one. Problem solved. Thanks. On Jun 29, 2015, at 5:15 PM, Jack Simon crabs...@gmail.com wrote: Call Techtonics (503-843-2700) and ask to talk directly to Collin

Anything is possible, trans, heads and blocks are all interchangeable. My GTi had a weird mix of 2.0 and 1.8 components and it ran beautifully. Never passed emissions because of a hollow cat, but I had a buddy who took care of it. He sold his business so I registered it as a historic/classic

Can the timing belt be off a tooth? That would explain why the spark timing is all the way to the right and why it's running rough. By the way, how's the oil pressure? Did you use the same oil pump? On Feb 27, 2016, at 8:24 PM, damac2004 wrote: thanks but this is the

The stock cams are aligned with marks on the chain sprockets, they face each other and flush to the head (at 3 and 9 o'clock) A guy once installed them with the marks at 12 o'clock. Luckily the head wasn't mated to the block. On Feb 12, 2016, at 6:26 PM, damac2004

I was able to free up the plunger on all of fuel dizzies, but on one, fuel would come out of the metering ports no matter what position the plunger was in and the other, no fuel would come out at all. I tried everything I could think of, no change other than the plunger. I didn’t try to open it

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

The wire you’re touching looks like the O2 signal. In your case it looks like the shield might have been pulled off and ran to ground. (That’s a guess, could be like that from the factory) The red and yellowish (sorry, I’m a little color blind) are the O2 heater. The 2 whites and the lead with

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

So you bought a new 3wire O2 sensor? If so, the black is the signal not the ground. (The sensor is grounded through the exhaust?) After the orange connector the signal wire back to the ecu is a little thicker because it's a coaxial cable, it has a braided shield around the signal wire. This

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

On a typical 1.8 CIS-E the O2 signal wire is shielded and green to an insulated male spade connector and there are 2 white heater wires into a duplex VW connector. I’m not sure how big of a deal the knock sensor issue that you’re going to have is. Your Motronic ECU is going to want 2 knock
