few quick questions to abf owners??
« on: 04 June 2013, 22:05 »
So ive been to look at a mk2 gti fitted with a abf lump in it!!

I noticed tge engine was little lumpy and i think slight missfire on idle

Now is this normal or can it be sorted easy?

Also noticed a strange smell from engine in the car
Cheers

Is it running EFI or has someone put K-Jet on it?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Rip out the K jet and put the proper ecu and loom in that the abf originally run on in its mk3 form.
It ll run perfect then and you wouldn't have to worry about it. K jets old hat now and needs someone who knows what they re doing to set it up properly to stop it cutting out etc.
