Got a mk1 golf gti convertible 1800 8v on a d-plate.
changed the fuel filter and fuel pump. but now the car doesnt want to start. it ticks over fine but fuel doesnt seem to be getting through.

It can take a while for the fuel system to bleed,
(k jet ::)).
You can help it a bit by lifting the fuel metering unit flap up and sticking a piece of card under it to hold it up a little, wind the engine over until it fires and then remove the card and rebuild. It will start like its flooded (foot to the floor and wind until it fires up).
