Back again folks...
Well, its been a few weeks but at long last all is sorted on the engine front! get in!
Managed to remove the injector seats from the head which leaves a larger hole into the head. From here it was possible to fish the injector end from the head...Sorted.
On inspection it was noted that all the seats were pitted and not sealing very weel. So they all got wipped out and replaced with new ones. I was hoping this was the route of my troubles. Alas no.
Had all the injectors checked for spray patterns and mixture, co , etc all checked and they were not very good.
So now has a full set of new injectors fitted, still did not drive right...DOH!
Took the metering head off as it appeared to be running rough on cold and low revs upwards on demand. Quite a simple bit of kit they used back then so all moving parts removed and checked. They were rusty as!
At this point a new cold start vavle was fitted to ensure start up runnings would be sweet.
Started to search for a new metering head as it also looked like my one was from a FORD set up. This took a while.
I eventually tracked one down that was quite local to me and owned by a rather handy lad with a tasty Scirocco with hybrid Audi block and VW head, and a 16V Mk1 Golf in his collection.
So the new metering head was fitted to solve the problem...Ooops, still ran crap!
There was poor fuel pressure now reaching the actual metering head. So a new fuel pump was ordered up and fitted.
Hey Presto, sweet as a nut!!!
So the moral of the story is that if your filler neck goes and you get nasty old water in your fuel system, then you could end up with more than a new fuel filer on your christmas list!
Just thought I would share the above with anyone in case they have the same hassle as me.
