Title: MK2 GTI 16v Help
Post by: hartdub on 10 March 2009, 21:25

Hi dub dubbers,

I recently bought a Mk2 golf GTI 16v, its had some work done on it be GTI Engineers, bored out to a 1.9, gas floxed, inlet, outlet etc etc...
It drives great and flies. But it has a few odd problems and I need some help as it's a little different to my MK1 GTI.

Faults:

1) The oil temp is showing on the dash, Is the oil temp sensor/sendor underneath the dizzy cap? if so ive tried earthing the wire and still nothing shows... any idea's ? just buy a new sensor or is it more ??

2) The engine gets real hot. like really hot... and the fan kicks in later than i think it should. on the motorway its not a problem, but round town its hot. the water pump seems ok... is it a bad sensor for the fan ? or something else ?

any help would be great.

Also i'm after a decent stainless twin pipe tailbox... it has a single on the back and its pure sick !!!

cheers guys.

Mike. :grin:

Hi Dubs;

All problems fixed, poor connection on the dash clocks for the oil temp, and bad thermostat for the cooling !. sticking.

Ill give it a wash and polish and get some pics on., not sure power wise, but i'm guessing around 180 bhp.

Cheers Mike. Anyone on the Hartlepool area running clubs ?  :cool:
