Need a mk1 kjet mechanic in the Midlands

I'm looking for a mechanic in the Midlands area I live Wolverhampton / Birmingham area I have running issues with my mk1 cab none of the garages near me will mess with it or just want to rip me off can anyone help

Looking at your older threads, did you ever change the lift pump in the tank?

Is the main pump noisy when the car splutters?

I would get a new lift pump if you did not change it and try that, I've been through lots of lift pumps over the years.

If you still want a garage to have a look my cousin works hear and they are all old school VW mad…
Not sure how far they are from you?

Hi thanks I have not changed the lift pump .To be honest i do not know what the lift pump is The main pump isnt noisy I have had the fuel sender unit out and changed the filter but there is nothing else in the tank. Thanks for the offer of a garage but i am in ashford middlesex by heathrow airport

Ye new fuel pump fitted I'm going try lift pump then if thatvdont work I'll give Midland vw a call thanks

New lift pump worth a try as under £20. Check the rubber hose between the pump and sender as they can rot away, I've fitted new hose each time I've changed my lift pump.

K jet genius is Vincent at stealth racing but he's located at Leamington spa probably an hour away from you

I'm in Stafford, and have similar issues with my gti cab.

Currently I'm looking at getting some pressure gauges to test the system.

I'm a mechanic, and work at the i54.

I don't get much free time, but I'll try and do a check list of things, as I run through mine and get it working properly.

If someone does have some gauges for the fuel pressure, or knows where to get a reasonably priced set, please let me know.

Have you changed the fuel filter recently? there are a host of things to check, I'll post one when I get some time.

I'm on nights this week, so may not get round to it for a while.

 i already tested my cabby system works fine,
