My mk1 16v ....

[ausgolfer]

60 bucks an hour? wow who's your mechanic, I don't think I've ever been charged less than 80 an hour. Melbourne VW places are a rip off. I just need to save for a nice tool kit and then will do it all myself.


Anyway back on track, Dub-ha8 what have you done with your Idle stabilization valve?

[dub-ha8]

I have used the Aux Air Valve from a Golf MK1 GTi instead of fitting the ISV from a Golf MK2 as they give so much problems :roll:

I've fitted it round the back of my engine to keep it all neat

A pic with the fittings i told you about loon.

I got away with putting washrs on one side behind the booster to straighten the master cylinder out, which gave me enough room to get my dizzy cap on and off.
5 min fix.

The pic above is also done the same with some washers behind the booster just relocated the filler bottle so it wasn't so clustered,
funny thing is that i don't need it that way any more as iv'e got the 16v dizzy in there noe a have plenty of space just havn't done it yet.

But it's a great fix to the prob at hand i agree.

the abf distributor cap can sort this problem out, it points upward 90 degree elbows

Nice pics.

They show the Mk2 style brake fluid bottle. That makes it easier.
If using the early style booster, it fouls and still would even with the abf cap. Thats where the washeres and kicking the booster over helps.

I thought of making the bars longer and moving the booster further to the right, but if I was gonna go to all that trouble, might as well rig up something better.

Rolling beam, is used in citi golfs and old saabs! Hydraulics would be better though.
