ok i need help on this 1n as i am new 2 vw gti,s . i have just bought a mrk2 gti 1.8 8v 5 door for ?100
now i got the car deliverd as it had no radiator, and after a quick mess around got my old faithfull 1.6 drivers raditor in it. it has no keys so i had 2 try and bridge ignition , 2 my surprise the engine turns over the fuel pump draws fuel in and is wrking, checked and ive got a spark in cylinders , car has fuel in it and should start but wont, my only thought is the injectors are F,ed or im not bridgeing ignition correctly , any ideas any 1n , PLZ :cry: :cry:

i think your going to have to do a process of elimination to track down whats going on there. like you say if you've got fuel and spark then it should be firing but there could be many little things stopping it from turning over.
could you swap the ignition barrel over from your driver as well so at least you've got a key and then that would eliminate the ignition switch problem then go from there?

ye ive had a look at the ignition barrel in the driver and it is differant plug , the gti has 4 bits that need bridged and i bridge 3 for the car 2 start cranking and ive tried bridgeing 4th but it seems 2 do nothing
, my only other clue is that the distibutar cap was all scored on the gti and the 16 year old drivers was spotless, but i changes all the leads over and still, no combustion! , thx 4r idea anyhow
-
the fuel pump does stop whining after 3 seconds , there is no imobiliser fitted and, and ive connect all the wires , all 4r in the rite plugs , but the 4rth brige does nothing ! im totally stumped ,
:cry:
-
any 1N? PLZ :cry:
-
yeh the fule pump should, it does that 2 get the system up 2 pressure,
is the fuel getting 2 the cylenders ok, take the plugs out ant try 2 start it, it should come flying out the plug holes
-
yea actually funny story , the first time i bridged the ignition i heard a sloshing noise and , to my surprise fuel had sprayed all over the place from the hose that connects 2 engine , as it was dissconected :shocked: , so its getting 2 cylinders , again thx 4r idea , more welcome
-

Does your injection system run of a unit that sits on top of your airbox. If so take the rubber intake pipe off the top and make sure the circular disk inside is moving freely up and down. Mine was stuck and showing similar symptoms.

to bypass the ignition switch bridge the terminals on the starter motor. make sure it's out of gear though else it'll run you over :grin:
