flames on me golf(help)
« on: 28 January 2007, 15:56 »
just set fire to me golf :whack: yesterday changed the clutch due to slipping
found it had been contaminated with copper slip :beuj:
well after fitting i tried to start it with no joy
it just kept flooding so i wipped out the plugs and the cylinders
were full of fuel so i turned the engine over
and it shot fuel 4 foot in the air blowing back at me and the car
and lit of a plug :sniff: :slap:
lucky for me i had a fire extinguisher in the car from the last owner so to cut a long story short the reason may be this anyone know what it is and does
it broke and i superglued it with no luck HELP

are you talking about the thing with the part number on it? if so its a knock sensor, if the casing is split on the cable (which it looks like it is) you'll need to replace it.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post
