Hi before I bolt up new febi water pump kit just checking I don't need any additional sealer on the face of the pump itself ? I assume we only use the rubber sealing ring that comes with the kit ? Many thanks.

Hi just looking at replacement both of the coolant temperature sensors. I removed both blue and black sensors and both have stamped on them max temp 125c. Question is what's the starting temp ? Both sensors are og VW parts . Many thanks

Hi my 91 GT cut out twice the other day while driving engine just cut out. I pulled over and it started back up. I drove around another 5mins and as I slowed down for traffic lights it cut out again but fired up straight away again . External fuel pump was replaced around two years ago with an eBay special. I must point out this is not a daily runner as I have another VW polo Your thoughts and advice is most welcome.

Hi All, I’m new to the forum! So ive had my BlueGT for just over a week and I absolutely love it! Anyway i I have one little issue with it, well not so much an issue, I just need reassuring that it’s normal! Basically I'm a little concerned at how hard the ride is and that I can feel everything and every little imperfection of the road through the steering wheel? Is this normal on the Blue GT? All replies much appreciated.

This weekends bilit - hamber clay bar and polish and wax. Took about 3h but still have black trim that need attention etc.

Hi everyone. I think my fuel pump is dead. At first I thought I'd ran out of fuel so put 2 Jerry cans in but still won't start. You here the pump prime when turn the ignition on but if disconnect the hose at the the inlet only get fuel if you suck it I don't recommend this! I know I can't get a new like for like so will need to use a universal. Any suggestions or advice would be a great help please. Thanks guys.

Hi all been wanting to do one of these for a while but only just got the chance i bought my mk2f breadvan from stockport around september 2017 & it's been an on going daily project ever since. i painted it blue with graffiti paint lowered it on an ebay lowering kit & started doing shows in 2018. after blowing the first 1l engine up i did a quick engine change to another 1l for under £100 just to keep the car on the road. comes to november 2018 time & i wanted to start a winter build. started with painting the car, the car is now melon yellow - done with montana graffiti cans. yes i painted over the windows because i liked the look of a panel van & couldn't be bothered trying to track down some actual panels. bought a GT conversion with the 5 speed short ratio box, stainless manifold and a few extra bits. i liked the idea of having brand new parts even if the old ones were fine.. driveshafts, front coilovers, top mounts, bottom arms, track rod arms/ends, ARB Blocks etc. this build isn't the best thing ever but certainly is a eye catcher & i love the thing aha. this car is built to what i like... not what other people think. if i listened to everyone else it'd be sat here with a 40/60 lowering kit on bbs hahaa STRIP - DROP - RATTLE - ROLL (a motto i like to use from a club called DUBRATZ) if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. photos may not be in order the car currently isnt finished & i'm waiting for a few parts to arrive, i've just bought a new bonnet & wings as ones on the car had dents. follow me on insta: _jordoan_

Got a judder coming from the front/ nearside front when pulling away. It feels like an engine mount but I've replaced the lower one with a golf rallye unit a while ago. Tia , Michael.

My dipstick levels have always been up and down for the past 4 years - can a blocked crankcase breather cause this? Always checked when car is level. Also, I've always run the dipstick to show the hatched area upwards when pulled out, but when inserted 'upside-down' the level shows halfway down in comparison - a big difference to get right: what's the correct orientation? (I keep it topped up but have recently been running a little lower in case I'm unknowingly overfilling - but then it runs noisy. It's currently about 5-7mm over the hatched area and runs fine - might be overfilled but presumed inaccurate..)

my 3f conversion failed the mot today , 10% co at 10% its running fairly normal , sounds and drives "okay" so i gets home and mess with the afm , i can get it lower towards a pass , but it just hates it a pops and bangs and really doesnt like it all all service parts new /good , o2 unplugged,temp sender looks good on scanner , tried another afm , messed with ign timing etc checked all i can think off , cant really get my head round why it wants to run so rich and wont /struggles near normal readings

I'm looking for a new set of rear springs for my mk2f gt breadvan. The ones i took off were two different sizes in length. Also are the g40 rear springs shorter in length then the GT rear springs? Many thanks.

I got my GT beam out at the moment and would like info help on getting the old rubber bushes out and installing new ones. Many thanks.

Abd 3f injection. Start the car and runs fine for 3 or 4 min then idles low and cuts out, wont repond to throttle when chugging and ramind this way on restart unless left Any ideas

just posting this to document it really early mk2 round headlight 3f ecu made by bosch , part number ending J , see it has lots of surface mount parts , general better quality feel to it later mk2f 3f K made by ken? less surface mount parts and these burnt /manually fitted parts seem the norm as we opened up another and its the same , the J one is mint

Spotted a nice looking black 2f with a GT badge up front in Leigh today, anyone on here? I was the white one with blue sidelights going the other way 👍

earlier this year ive fitted full 3f mpi injection to my previously refreshed abd , still not running 100% and i decided to re seal the inlet mani incase it was leaking i gets it off and find the number 1 end is oily . not dripping but a good wet coating of clean engine oil thing is all breathers are vented elsewhere so i dont really get where on earth it could have come from ?

Is it worth porting my GT inlet manifold ? At present I have a four 4-2-1 no other mods. Has anyone on hear done it ?

Hi all easy one for you I hope. What should a mk2f GT idle at ?

So i have just swapped over the servo on my 91 GT, the servo was being dodgy and removing the old one revealed some major rust had taken hold on it. Anyway i've fitted a replacement servo, taken off a 2f, i haven't adjusted anything on this new servo. My car is running a rear disc setup, with VW2 fronts and a 22mm master cylinder, this has all been fitted for a couple of years and been working perfectly. With the new servo fitted, the brake pedal sits lower than the clutch pedal (they used to sit level), and the point at which the pedal goes solid is also lower. These i can live with, but the pedals new position is too low to switch off the brake lights, so they stay permanently on. I have taken apart the old servo, and the only adjustment i can see is on the master cylinder side, which would change the bite point, but not where the pedal sits at rest. Being honest i'm stumped, its like its not seated correctly on the bulkhead, but the three mounting bolts are tight, look even and none of it looks crooked. I have released the master from the servo to check its not that, and the pedal indeed is still incorrect with no master. I can only think i'll have to strip it off again and compare with the old servo/check its seating. But before i do, anyone have any bright ideas? Thanks guys

Hi,New to the forum.I have just purchased a 1991 Polo GT. I am reliving my youth having owned a 1993 coupe Genesis then moved on to a GT back in the early 90's! Not got it started yet so not sure if I've missed it or not...

Hi my mk2f 1ltr breadvan has a problem . Did not start yesterday so i check battery and it was flat as first i thought i left lights on or radio but i never . So i put in new battery and fired up straight away but i noticed after i switched of ignition off i could still here fuel pump running not sure why so i switched it back on ignition and it stopped. I repeated the on off with ignition and same thing happened fuel pump still running after i turned off the till ignition again . So i assume this is why i had a flat battery as its was still doing its thing after i switch car off and going into the house , hence flat battery next day. Advice please. Many thanks.
