Welcome to the forum, I don't use very often, but was just have a quick look around. Did you get the issue sorted out with your gti? The interesting point to take into account is the temperature. If only cuts out when hot, but starts & runs when cold, then pretty much spark, fuel , air ,timing could be ruled out. Only thing that's really changing is what the ecu is showing when hot. Ie temp sensor. Does the temperature gauge show correctly? If remember correctly there's 2 sensors, 1 for ecu & 1 for temp gauge. I'd checked the resistance on sensor, should change when gets hot & cold.
Hi, I've not used the forum for a long while, was just having a quick look around. Came across your horror story!! Was just wondering if you got all your issues sorted out, I'm a old school auto electrician, having done my apprenticeship on mk 2 golf's, jetta's, mk 1 caddy etc. Even remember pdi'ing brand new 16v golfs!! If needed any help leave a reply.
Hi I'm starting to put back together my 1989 8v 3dr gti. After a full bare shell respray , I'm trying to source the black with red stripe vinyl strips, that sits behind the door, 1/4 panel rubber bump trims. I've tried the usual sources of parts, but come up with nothing. Has anyone got any part numbers for the trim kit,or where can buy them? Kra
Evening, Just joined the forum, I'm in the process of restoring a genuine 1989 small bumper 8v gti, It's been a labour of love, and taken my back to my apprenticeship days ,of working on ,these when they where brand new!!! It's amazing that, after all these years, still remember the torque settings, for when rebuilding the engine. Kra
