Myself and friends have been restoring a Mk2 Golf Gti 8v K-jet 1986 C-reg over the past 6 months. I acquired it from someone in the Wisbeach area who made it look pretty but it wasn't so good as believed
. The car has been fully stripped down, 2 new front floor pans, 2 inner sills, 2 outer sills, a rear back tailgate valance and a few other things. Basically it should have been in a scrap yard somewhere but I wanted a project and that's what I got!! All welding has now been done, underside of the car was undersealed with shiltz, brake pipes has been replaced, a restored engine subframe fitted, new wishbones, reconditioned drive shafts, the list is endless as to what I have done but I have at least 200 photo's on my fb account to document the work being done.
Finally I am nearly there to getting the golf in for an mot but in the last week we have had problems with snapping a bolt off the head to which we where attaching a stainless steel 4 branch manifold so we swapped the head for another I had which turned out to have a fast road cam in!! Lucky me, bargain head I brought for £30!!! The head is now on but for some reason there is no fuel getting to the injectors so she won't run!! Fuel pump is fine, You can hear it, we've changed the fuel lift pump for a spare I had, that isn't the fault and tomorrow were changing the starter motor as it doesn't seem to turn over well at all! I put this down to the battery but a new one has been fitted and it's still doing it!
Checked wiring, cold start module has been changed so the money is now on the starter motor as it's 'lazy' like my mate who's a mechanic said. There is a Vacuum that is needed to lift the fuel from the fuel tank I believe and the starter motor isn't producing enough power to help create this vacuum to lift the fuel from the tank. It's not the fuel metering unit as that has been changed and fuel is getting to the metering unit just not the injectors, theirs also a spark at the spark plugs. Also changed the injectors.
If anyone can give any advise at all I'd appreciate it.
Many Thanks Chris.
