The one...

I had a talk to dad and he explained it a little bit to me, and I understand the basics of the Gas setup now with the turbo.

What does the gas mixer setup look like compared to the multipoint injection?

Does anyone have pics to show and demonstrate the difference?

The gas can be plumbed into the throttle body. That's how I'm going to set up the 16v I got off you. I'll also block of the injection holes and remove all traces of the fuel injection and fuel system including the fuel tank.

[Mk1@4Motion]

I was thinking that the fuel tank can be replaced with a tank for the gas rather than putting the gas tank in the back or something.

And because of my background we only started learning about gas when we moved to Australia.

Hence I ask the questions about the GAS system, coz every little bit of info I an get will help me prevent doing things twice.

Perhaps a toroidal tank in he spare wheel hole?

[Mk1@4Motion]

That looks like the best plan. Now just have to wait for the S3 to arrive and KaBLAM, build officially starts.

Getting excited.

[Mk1@4Motion]

Think I should get the car to my place during the next week or so to start work and see if I can get a fair bit done before the S3 arrives.

[Mk1@4Motion]

Hey guys, been very busy with work lately. Haven't done much at all lately but looks like the S3 might be here by next week!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Can't wait.

[Mk1@4Motion]

Hey guys,

HEPL NEEDED URGENTLY!!!!!

I fitted the new starter and can hear it kick out, but it doesn't turn the motor. The old starter tried turning the engine over but didn't engage on the flywheel.

Can anyone help me with checks I can do to see why it doesn't turnover?

I have checked the motor to see if it turns over by itself with a turn at the crank and all is A-Ok there.

And this is doing my head in.

Was it a new/refurbed unit, or a second hand one?

To test if it is the solenoid or the starter coils/brushes, you can short out the 2 poles on the back of the solenoid.
If it spins, then the contacts in the back of the solenoid are either dirty or burnt out.
If it doesn't, then I'd look at the brushes of the motor...

I believe I'll be Wanniassa way at some stage this weekend if you would like a hand diagnosing this...

[gazzmo]

I would remove the starter and check using Shadows' procedure that the new starter does the throw-out process, the cog moves forward and spins.
