Doing A Diagnostics Check

Right... I appreciate what is meant to happen when doing a check.... ie the engine light flashes with the code.... HOWEVER.... Has anyone experienced the car trying to start itself when you connect the two plug things? That is what mine did last night and I haven't got a clue why! Needless to say I ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Electrical (I Think!) Problem

I have recently put a new engine in my 2.... All was going fine, but now when going for boost or high revs there seems to be some sort of electrical surge that knocks all the dash lights on, and sends the gauges to full, and then stops... This was also kicking in the starter motor before, but I have...

Re: MK 2 Turbo... Please HELP! - Boost and starter issues

Thanks for that!... I will try and see what has happened with the wiring, I am sure the wiring was done correct, but I could be wrong!...

I have a boost gauge fitted, it is showing that it won't boost above .3ish and if it does it cuts out completely....

MK 2 Turbo... Please HELP! - Boost and starter issues

I have probably put this in the wrong section for getting a response, but hopefully not!... I have just done an engine swap on my rev 1 turbo (straight swap for an un-damaged one!), but I am experiencing problems. Firstly, on start up, the starter motor is staying engaged for a few seconds after the...

Hello all...

Can anyone help with providing a photo of a Turbo starter motor in place (& wired up)... I am in the middle of a rebuild, and cant figure out the configuration of the wiring to it.

MK2 Rev 1 Engine

Please bear with me, as I am a complete fool with mechanics....

I have a rev1 turbo in need of a replacement engine (bottom end is nackered)... Im aware that the rev 3+ engines aren't an option, but I would like to know if a rev2 engine could be put in as a swap?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Boot Won't Open!!!

For information, the key turned anti-clockwise then wont turn back... Does this mean it is now deadlocked? How do i un-deadlock it?

[Mk2] [Generic] Boot Won't Open!!!

Put the key in the lock, it turned to the side and then the boot wouldn't open! Tried the boot release pull, I dont think the cable has snapped.

What else can I try??


Thanks!

I appreciate you're not all incompetant fools, but there are a high percentage. Driving to work this morning, stopped at a roundabout, then pulled out, as is the normal method. Around 50 yards after the roundabout exit is a junction (I was on the road with right of way), a woman decided she would pu...
