look mate peeps are trying to help you, post a pic up of engine as wayne said then we'll be better placed to tell you what to check,
personally i cant see you having a mk3 engine, sounds like you got someone you know with a little knowledge giving you a bum steer.
POST A PIC! [taps the keys hard]
also where are you? there maybe someone nearby

I doubt you have a MK3 golf Engine if it's running on K-Jet... If your engine looks like this, it will most likely be a 1.8 GTI engine from another MK1 which doesn't have a crank sensor.
