    i,ve got a supercharged vr6 in my mk2 golf and up til now i,ve been running a early mk2 16v pump but its on its way out as it keeps making strange noises, anyway i wanted to just replace it and looked at the haynes manual and it says that an early (87) pump is the one to go for as its 5 bar ,does anybody know where is the best place to get one or if there is an alternative, its the pump thats under the car and not the one in the tank by the way thanks

    oil cooler help

    gkjnr replied to gkjnr's topic in Engine Tuning

    yes i,ll be tracking it , i,ve also supercharged it, i spent the extra so i would not have to cover it up in winter , its a pain in the ass as it was extra £40 i think its a mocal too so you,d think it would be good stuff

    stealth mate ask for vince ,done me a chip and it sorted my problems with one phone call,plus he takes time to find out what you,ve done and what your looking for from your motor ,well recommended
  8. gkjnr

  9. gkjnr

    oil cooler help

    gkjnr replied to gkjnr's topic in Engine Tuning

    i,ve got the right parts for it now , i,d done about 20 miles and the temp still won,t come up. the reason i bought one with a stat was to cure the problem with it over cooling the oil

    i,ve just fitted a mocal oil cooler and stat the thing is my oil tempreture gauge is not coming up past 60 even when giving it a thrashing, i understood that the oilcooler won,t start cooling the oil til it hits around 90 and that was the reason i bought one with a stat ,any ideas guys? the stat is the mocal type as well, could i have plumbed it wrong? it looks ok to me and the stat seems to be only able to be fitted one way ie the side with the gasket to the block and the cap on the side without the gasket

    tps wires sequence anybody? checked the bentleys manual but no clues there
  13. gkjnr
    just cleaned it yesterday, i,ll leave it a few days and see what happens
  14. gkjnr
    could a lambda sensor cause this as well,i,m getting desperate , i don,t want to start flinging cash at it buying sensors and i don,t have access to vagcom
  15. gkjnr
    na stupidly thought it would be ok ,any clues on the sequence of the wires to the tps, i rekon i might have got water in it cos when i unplug it the fault goes away(nearly) i,ve also had the cover off the roker cover and cleaned and sprayed the coil connections with wd40 but to be honest they were dry
  16. gkjnr
    i,ve dryed all the connectors and sprayed them with wd40 ,its doin my head in ,i was just wondering if dampness in the throttle position sensor could cause these problems
  17. gkjnr
    mine does the same mate
  18. gkjnr
    i jet washed the engine bay and now its running like a bag of bolts, its dumping straight fuel into the engine , i,ve taken off all connections and wd 40,d them and blew out any water with an air line , when i remove my tps connectiion it gets better ,when i put it back on it won,t idle , also does anybody know the colour of the tps wires from rear of the car to front on the connector cos mine was crap and i cut it off and put krimps on it instead its just incase i,ve mixed the wires up, i might add thayt at full throttle its not bad but i can feel it retarding the timing any advice please

    got it thanks all

    i,ve probably already asked this question but i can,t remember the answer so , what plugs do you guys with 8 psi of boost use? i,m running standard ngk,s at the moment and they seem ok but if theres something better i,ll give them a bash
  21. gkjnr
    well that makes sense ,i havnt got that bit all i,ve got is a plastic cap instaed of a alloy one , also i,ve had a look at others and they seem to have a bit of rod thats threaded externally to screw into the block and threaded internally so you an screw the cap bolt back into it
  22. gkjnr
    help?
  23. gkjnr
    heres a pic of both sides of the stat and the new fully threaded mushroom bolt on the lhs and the old one on the right
  24. gkjnr
    the kit came with a new mushroom as you call it and the threaded bit was already attatched, its too long and too thin , i might add the mushroom i took off was alloy and the new one is plastic
  25. gkjnr
    that is the new cap that came with it, the new tube has only got holes at the very top whereas the origional one has holes down the side
