is the fuel pump on the 1272 single point same as multi point? -do u know the answer to that corin?

The fuel pump on my polo is mounted unfer the car with the filter, so i would say probably yes, the pump is likely to be the same.
Since the pump is mounted in a very vunerable position, i think it is worth checking the condition of the wiring.
BTW just because the plugs were done a couple of months ago doesn't mean they aren't f**ked now.
I wasn't saying the plugs were the problem, i was saying they give pretty good clues to what is going on in the combustion chamber, so lift one out and have a look!!

oh aye..i know that...but with them being done so recently..ud be able to see pretty quickly if they were fcuked..

cheers mate, mixture seems healthy whatever the temp. of engine. all the pumps are located under the car just wondered if they offered different pressures depending on engine? you might be onto summat with the plugs cos i aint convinced they are right ones! which ones u got in yours?
cheers,

Not sure mate, anyway mines a 1.0L code AAU, 45 bhp 
Very similar to the 1.3 single point injection.
Do you think the fuel pump is dodgey then?

[tomo320]

cheers for that mate, i dunno but ill let u know outcome, fekin thing gonna have a proper go at it this weekend, them multi point injection engines have an air-flow meter n all, i dont know much about em' but if it was a golf i wud be suspect,
cheers for your help,
paul

Just to answer a question from further back. The Polo GT, or at least mine which is on a 1991 plate, is multi-point injection, exactly the same as the mk2 Golf GTI digifant. Not single point injection!

Can you hear the fuel pump spin over and prime the fuel system when you switch the ignition on, same as a mk1/2 Golf GTI? How does the fuel pump sound?

Just going to try and find my receipt to see which plugs I fitted to mine.........if the problem started when you fitted them then I would suggest that is a good place to look too.

[richandhazel]

Haven't got the receipt to hand but I think you will find they are Beru W6DTC or Bosch WR6DC+

I think its the '6' that is significant as other are 5, 7, 8 etc.....

nah...started after that, thanx rich..
