Where can I get a refurbished or new Warm Up regulator ?

[RedMk2Gti]

I've got a 1990 Mk1 Cabriolet. The warm up regulator is faulty (hunting RPM at idle after engine warms up). It also seems to have gotten a little thirsty

I've had it pressure checked by reputable VW mechanic & inicated that warm up regulator is faulty - (quite a common fault with the Mk1 cabrio apparently).


Mechanic priced a new unit at $1000 !!!! But surely there might be soemone out there with a refurbished or aftermarket unit at a more reasonable price. (which is what the mechanic suggested I do)

I've found a unit that I can get from US - but seems I should exhaust all loal options first.

I live in Sydney - but don't mind sourcing a regulator from inter state.

If anybody can help that would be great !

Welcome FangioVW,

Is your car running k-jet ? I probably have one sitting somewhere.

Hiya Fangio,

I would recommend these guy's,

I sent them my fuel distributor and control pressure regulator for overhaul

Did a great job, car ran flawlessly when i got them back.

Was about 8 day turnaround from mailing the parts over to getting them back.

These guy's can likely do the same ..http://www.southportfuelinjection.co...0Injection.htm

last year I had a problem with the Cabby not willing to accelerate after starting on warm days. After about 5 minutes, normal service resumes. This problem went away (Fingers crossed) so I no longer worry about it.

I was told it was the Warm UP Regulator sometimes known as a Control Pressure Regulator, which needed to be replaced as they are not repairable.

So I am quite interested they can be rebuilt, Whats the cost on that service?
(If you don't mind me asking)
