Title: Starting motor woes !
Post by: Uruk Hai on 01 November 2006, 18:59
Not long after I bought my 8V the starter motor started turning but not engaging everytime and eventually it got to the point where it wouldn't engage at all. Fortunately my mate had a spare engine and box in his garage so I had the starting motor off that one but today thats started to do the same thing although it engaged and started on the second try after just spinning freely the first. Could it just be that this second hand motor is just failing in the same way as the first one (it is older than the one I took off  :undecided:) or could it be a problem with the starting ring gear or something worse  :undecided: :undecided:. Any help really appreciated as I need the car everyday for work  :rolleyes:
Title: Mk3 16v GTi Idle Problem - With Video!
Post by: ozza on 15 November 2006, 20:15
This just started today.

The car just won't idle at any temp of engine.

It does 2 things.

1). Start engine and it starts every time but pulses the idle RPM to just above stalling, then raises it to around 1300 RPM and then drops it again to around 700 RPM and continues like this.

But it will drive fine, except for when you take you foot off the throttle when it seems to jolt a little.

See this video (5 mb) to see whats happening. I am not touching the throttle at all, just twisted the key to start it.

2). Once you get the revs up after sympton 1). by pressing the throttle, it will rev fine but when you let off the throttle it starts idleing at around 1200 RPM and slowely rises to  2000 ish RPM and then drops to 1800 and then rises to 2000 and cycles like this from then on.

See this video for what I mean, again I am not touching the throttle:

I replaced the ECU relay 3 months ago due to a misfire issue so that is now brand new, idea's what could be causing this??????

All help greatfully received.

Title: Just had the Valver on the Rolling Road
Post by: monzablue16v on 03 February 2007, 16:37
This morning I took my car to my local Rolling Road tuner for a tune and power run.

Timing and fuelling set and now running much better than it was before I took it in, need to source an ISV or clean mine up as it's broken!!
Modifications
Ported and polished head
S/S exhaust and manifold
K+N panel filter and modified airbox
running Sainsburys super 97 ron

Before it was around 115BHP at the flywheel and would only go to 5k.

After 160BHP at the flywheel at 5k and 170BHP at Flywheel on full range.

Don't half shift now!!! another good BHP-£ ratio!! £2.10 per Horse!!

Title: koni top adjustable settings
Post by: wilson on 09 February 2007, 10:24
Hello,  just wondering how others have there damping adjustable suspension set for everyday driving...  I have a set of Konis on my 16v.  they are 2 full turns from firm to soft, when I bought the car they were all set on half way, one full turn.  but this seemed a little hard for everyday driving.

What do you lot think is a good setting for more comfort, without ruining handling too much.  if they are all on fully soft is the handling going to be crap?

Title: Canceled Edition 30 - lost my deposit, job and car
Post by: chatty1234 on 13 February 2007, 23:38
I got a Build week 6 high speced Edition 30 ordered Xenos/sunroof/MFSW +++). It is confirmed built. I paid a 1000 pound deposit. I have had to cancel as my boss has said he is closing the business. I think I can find another job but has made me re think the Edition 30. I told the dealer I want to cancel and they have said I am in breach of the sales contract and I lose my 1000 pounds. I did offer to advertise the car as I think this car available 1st March will find a buyer no problem. But they said the contract is in my name so they don't agree for me to transfer the sales contract. 

So it has been a bad week. Lost my job, car and savings. Think I may need a brain transplant. :cry:
