  1. So I was in a traffic jam moving slowly when I hear a loud bang and saw mist coming out from the engine and the AC immediately ceased cooling. I went to the garage and they told me an overpressure occured and I need to buy a new high/low pressure switch and diagnose the system My question is, why would an electrical fail at all in one random moment, and especially why is it connected to the rest of the AC pipeline. attached is a photo of the damage. Should I inspect or replace something else while I'm waiting for the part?
  2. Hey again lovely fellas! I might be close to buying a AEK 1.6 1995 Golf MK3, i was wondering what you guys think I should check out about it, and maybe some mods you'd recommend doing to make it a more lovely experience to drive! Cheers!
  3. Hey again lads, I recently bought a speedometer to replace my old one but the gauges don't seem to be calibrated, anyone with knowledge on this? cheers!
  4. These last couple of days my ABD engine has started to suffer from what I think is liquid oil somehow seeping to the intake. There's oil tracing back into my air filter, and oil leaking from the top cover (I'm sure this isn't the right name), to the electrical pins (i think causing an electrical malfunction?) Once i cleaned it the car started first try but it gets really oily quickly, it may be overfilled due to a mistake of mine in the past so i'll be patching up that problem as soon as possible. as an extra note, the oil sensor (low pressure i believe) wire was chopped off and done a cheap fix (fill it with electrical tape), could that be related too? I don't want the engine to die like this, any ideas?
  5. I have just purchased a lovely MK3 polo facelift for my son. He wanted an older car to keep as a future classic. All was well with the car then sadly discovered a whine on 5th gear. Upon inspection i discovered the gearbox was empty of oil so the gearbox is more than likely toast ! I have been quoted £950plus vat minimum for a rebuild with new clutch which is crazy money, can someone tell me where i can locate a good quality recon box to have fitted? Not some dodgy ebay unguaranteed unit... i cant find anything. So miffed as this is my sons long awaited 18th birthday present. Car is an x reg 2000 1.0litre e Any help would be amazing!!
  6. Hello again! I'm having some struggles figuring out the rev counter (camshaft sensor) wires for my ABD ECU. Does anyone know anything about it, I believe it's in the distributor but I'm not sure of it. If possible I'd also like to know the DATA and GROUND wires as the wiring diagram doesn't identify them. And about the crankshaft sensor, there's two wires that go to the ECU pinout, red/black and white/green, how do i identify which one is ground and data? Thanks!
  7. Too bad that after I removed the fuel filter, I've noticed the new one is incompatible since it has different inlet and outlet tubes - the clamps can't secure it. However on the product page for both filters it lists my 1.6 MK3 as compatible. How can I know for next time?
  8. Hi everyone, Looking for an Induction Elbow off a MK3 SPI model Golf for my MK2F Polo 1.3 Cat. Thanks.
  9. I don't really know any forums that'll help me so I'm hoping I can get some ideas, my 2/94 Golf MK3 1.4 ABD engine has suddenly decided not to idle. It started by having fuel issues during movement, but we settled that easily by putting a screw on the cap and that fixed moving fuel starvation, however, it still stalls at idle, it'll hold out for at least 7~ seconds, then start losing revs then completely cut off in an instant. Things attempted with their outcome: Spark plugs and HT leads, smoother engine while driving, still stalling. Dizzy cap and rotor, dad replaced it back with the old one (clueless as to why?) Idle air control valve/ Idle stepper motor replaced, solved the idle yesterday and it started exhaust popping but it was really rough, it would drop down to 350rpm then jump back to 1250, seriously unstable, today it stopped idling again and just completely cuts out. Tried a new carb (i think that's what you call mono-jetronic assembly?) but it didn't change anything. Checked the tubing from the head of the engine to a weird black box behind it attached to the block, i assume it helps with engine idling? Cleaned it out, didn't help. (I didn't remove the black box, should have i removed it?) Noticed the "blue oil pressure sensor" had a broken terminal so replaced that too and it didn't change anything, just gets it out of my nerve. When it stalls white smoke comes out, and when revving (slightly) at cold some blue smoke comes out (oil?) but it eventually stops after a few engine restarts. I'm genuinely lost as to what to do here, Please! If you know anything, I'd like to hear about it! With hopes, Fizu. (I'm still at school learning about mechanics so I'm really sorry if i did anything wrong and I'd like you to correct me on it)
  10. Hi All, Looking for our old Polo Breadvan van - 1993 in white, was sold on in 2013 after having it a few years but we made a mistake selling it and really want it back. looked on the DVLA and seen it hasn’t been taxed or MOT’d in a good while. Reg was L391UFE - looking to buy it back in whatever state even if not roadworthy. if anyone has any news or thinks they’ve even seen it would be a great help
  11. Hey guys, i'm fairly new to the VW scene, (excuse me if i make any mistakes, im not a native speaker), so back to the point, I've got my AEE engine rebuilt last summer, and after 320k kms it was a breeze to drive it, but im getting used to it, so im planning to shoot for lets say a 100 hp, or something near to that, i have some plans, but yeah, you guys know way more than me so, my weak ass plans are: - porting the head, with bigger valves - a bit more agrssive camshaft - custom intake, with the 1.4 16vs throttle body (as far as i remember the 1.6 aee has a 45, and the 1.4 16v has a 55, also its the mk3's bowden operated one) - some kind of exhaust system with a bigger size, and a stainless mainfold. And basically thats that, so if you guys got any tips, i'd be glad to hear them, also if there are some better methods, im happy to hear them.
