The pump definitely either has the max rpm setting way or up has a governor mod or the fuel screw is out too far, because this thing was running very unlike my other car, which has never really been touched. never saw black smoke behind my car until today. :P though it was hilarious going up a big pass on the 110 mile trip home, and realized I was smoking everyone out. ;D
the car is in dire need of a good scrub down, but such a great start. I think after about ten or so mk1's, I'm ready to actually start making at least ONE nice one.....
:thumbup:
-
I like the color.
Oh and nice glow plug fuse ;D
did I pass the quiz?
-
Leave it stock height, and the colour's nice. :D
If you need a timing belt cover, I have them coming out of my ears; you can have one for whatever the cost of sending it to you is. :D

sure did, but that was easy wasn't it? now give me your address and I'll send you a totally random vw part.....guaranteed oem. ;D

Dear god, what is it with everyone finding mk1's? I almost picked up an 83 Jetta to drop my AAZ into! ;D
-
trying to find a mk1 in oregon is like trying to find sand in a desert ;D
hard part is trying to figure out which one to get. :-*
-
Man I wish you could send some down to Texas. Can't find them here.
-
So now that makes three :) I just picked up the identical car a couple months ago!

or finding one that isnt rusty. but yea, theres LOTSA mk1's in oregon.
-
but theres a big difference between east coast roast and west coast rusty
-
also a big difference between nw coastal oregon and down south where i'm at. much drier down here. over 300 days of sun a year. ;D

but theres a big difference between east coast roast and west coast rusty
And SouthEast rusty, too.
-
you have never before seen rust until you have been to Dutch Harbor AK...
-
Try Okinawa Japan buddy, the coral dust eats paint all day long. They use the coral in road manufacture, colol thing is they don't have to scrap cars after 20 years because they just rust away into thin air. ;D

did some stuff. got the timing belt cover on it that was missing. installed the red top while I was at it.

then decided the mk2 was losing its wheels :laugh:

working on my turns. everything works but those. The inidicator just stays lit and I get nothing. hazards work, but no turns. guy had the dash pulled apart when I went to buy it because he was putting a speedo cable in. I hooked up the cluster just to see the oil lights and water temp work, which did, so I just drove it home :laugh: 110 miles :D
working on getting the tunes hooked up too

I wonder the same.. Turns worked last time i worked on the car, then I pulled the dash all apart to fix the odometer in the cluster.. and now turns do not work.. DOes not make sense to me?? Is there something n the dash that allows the turns to work? 4-ways work.. turns just light up the cluster light and do nothing.. What has caused this? SORRY FOR JACKING ;)
Nice sub.. 10"? Sealed, Ported or Band-Pass box?

I'd blame a ground somewhere, I had something like that, the right flashers were too fast but the four ways worked. Turned out the ground inside the front right bulb socket was bad.
Do the parking lights work?
-
I had a similar problem with the turns on my rabbit. I had a working turn signal on one side and a working parking light on the other. I started at the switch with my multimeter, and it turned out the shorts were in the bulb socket. I never did find replacements, and I did not have working turn signals until I switched to the euro bumpers. I think there are 3 multi pin connectors that come out of the wiring harness; one for the engine, one for the front (lights horn and stuff) and one for the back. the bentley labels which wires are which. I would start there then you would know whether your short was in the dash, or under the hood before you tore either apart.
-
A short eh? The cluster light is very dimly on as well.. yet the 4-ways work all three lights. three because one of the front sockets corroded away to nothing. maybe the wires in the corroded one are touching? lol
-
Rule of thumb, If it an electrical problem that makes no sense, it's probably a ground issue of some variety...

If it cant be fixed by a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!

Yup, I bet your problem is in there somewhere.
Also check that the flashers/blinkers are the same brightness, iirc, with electical problems it might decide to blink the parking filament when it should be the blinker filament. That'll also cause weird blinker speeds.
-

Not completely true.. Well then again I guess the hammer was more of a diagnostic tool... Early GM MAF sensors and early Mopar map sensors were notorious for intermittent failures.. Typically they set no DTC but the car would run like crap on and off.. As per the factory service bulletins "Lightly tap the sensor with a mallet"...
But I digress, carry on!
-
I replaced the flasher for my rabbit and it helped with the turn signals. Before it would just stick on after I replaced it then it flashes like it is supposed to...I always tell my sister to check her turn signal fluid, but I think you are past that.
-
Unplug the hazard switch and the turn signal switch. Plug it back in and repeat 2-5 times. It could just be a bad connection. That's what my problem was on my 89. Although my turn indicator light still dimly glows
