Hey i need a metering head for a mk2 84 gti k jet.
I am currently looking at cars being broken. Which models should i be looking at?
Is it just the k jet gti models that will have the same part?
Thanks
P.s anyone got one?

Hi
Put up a picture of the one you want to replace.
-
MK1 Golf/Cabby, MK2 Golf and Scirocco 1.8 8v k-kjet models is what you want

Not particularly hard to source.
But they're sh*t.

Whats wrong w yours? mine was all seized up bout 6 month ago ( car had been standing 4 years) i partly stripped and cleaned with degreaser and petrol. she runs sweet now. its doin 30+ MPG and ive a heavy right foot too :grin: goes like a rocket.
I cannot fault this mechanical fuel injection. Better than modern fuel injection systems where you need a laptop to fix it!

They're generally worn out and innaccurate and will kill your engine given half a chance.
They are NOT better than modern electronic injection systems. Only a moron would try to make out that they are.
If they were so great everything would be running a K-jet misting system, rather than a proper injection system.
You'll learn.

And only a moron would go spouting the amount of sh!te you do on here but you never seem to learn either so why should he lol. By his definition he was happy so try and leave it alone for a change lol, your boring.

Explain why what I've posted about K-Jet is shyte then?
Or maybe explain why K-Jet is great, if that's your opinion.
Just coming on and abusing me in poor English is just a petty, shoddy little attack.
-
My opinion thats all. Being an engineer i like to fix things myself and not take it to a garage.
Modern systems are very good and very efficient when they are working but when they break, the repair bill can get high because of diagnostic charges, and sensors are £££ each. The fault readers are not nessasarily correct. half the time the garages are chasing their tails tryin to find out whats wrong!
K-jet aint the dogs testies but it works (German engineering)! and a moron like me knows how it works so can fix it if it breaks :grin:
Here is a vid of it in action ed.

Did I say that?

Didnt say or imply that either.
Just coming on and abusing me in poor English is just a petty, shoddy little attack.
I think I must be learning from your mastery of this technique. I dont feel any further need to justify myself though so Ill leave it at that before Im dragged down to your level and beaten with experience.
-
Lacking substance.
-
Well erm, thanks guys.
I cant seem to get hold of one anywhere. Its at a garage and they are having no luck either.
would it be cheeky for me to suggest them cleaning it?
on a side note -
They have already charged me £30 for a pipe it didnt need as they are now saying its the metering head.
do i stand any chance on requesting my money back for labour that was uneccessary?

K jet was involved, i feel sorry for the garage.
£30 for a pipe that it may have needed isn''t that unreasonable with it been mecanical the only way to diagnose it half the time is to piss around with it ,measure pressures and change the bits that logic says chould be f**ked.
by all means you can ask them to clean it the reply wont be to your likeing. a sharp knock is enough to upset a metering head if your unlucky let allone takeing the bugger apart if they do it it'll do one of 2 things. not run at all or run perfectly but leack round the join between castings

Quick ebay search throws up the following http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=metering+head&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=k+jet&_osacat=0 . Otherwise its phone round VW breakers for one.
-
I've called countless breakers.
The ebay ones must be new as i have been checking regularly but cheers for the link.
@rub johnny (Or anyone that knows) - so this will bolt up then? from a 1983 mk 1 golf.
