Metering head
« on: 03 February 2010, 14:53 »
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

Not particularly hard to source.

But they're sh*t.

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.

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:
