Hello fellow dieslers!
I have an old jetta 87 that i put a 1.6 td from a golf into. Everything works good except it wants to hang and sometimes run away at rpms over 2500. I heard that the idle spring could be stretched out to fix the problem and so i did. The fix worked for a while but now the problem is back, i guess the spring has been compressed again. Ive tried searching for a new spring online but i cant find one and i cant find a part number for the spring either. Does anyone know where i can find one or what part number it has?
Im not sure how to post pictures here so if someone could help me with that I could post a picture of the spring im talking about.
Thanks in advance!
Use a third-party site to post your picture. Send it to Imagur or Dropbox. Then when writing a message use the box under the bold button to insert a link. Copy the link from the picture place and insert it between the two types of image brackets.
Thanks!
Im talking about the spring to the far left, left of the arrow on the picture
You might try to put a washer in next to the spring and increase the tension that way. Rather than pull on the spring and have it return to its original size over time.
