Somerset 20v running issues

Post

Back to the top
Hi I'm pulling my hair out with my Mk1. 
I've had it converted to a 20v t. It's running on emerald  management I say running it's running like poo.
 Ive exhausted all of my limited mechanical knowledge I'm new to Somerset having moved to Taunton from the Wirral a few months ago and I don't know anyone this end of the country who could help. Can anyone point me in the right direction of someone who can help me. Thanks Rodger

For some reason your post above required validation. That should only happen on your very first one and you've made 30 odd.

I think you made the post around 9:30pm last night but it seems to have been missed by us Mod's.

Anyhow, it's live now and hopefully someone can help you with this! 👍🏼

Welcome to Somerset, there is a few of us in and around Somerset.

Not used them for years since Tim Styles retired but TSR is in Bridgwater which is just a junction up the M5 from Taunton and they specialize in VW and do engine conversion so they might be able to help.

TSR-Performance Ltd


  

1988 Mk1 Golf GTi Cabriolet 1.8cc DX, K-jet. Daily drive. 317,000 miles and counting
1978 Mk1 Scirocco GLS 1.6cc FR, Webber carb. Weekend toy.

welcome to Somerset what part of Taunton are you in?

TSR have got better recently so i hear. when they first restarted i didn't have a very good experience.

heard good things about these guys

dont know that they will do many conversions but should have experience with 20v

audi 4 u are suppose to be also good my mum used them recently they built a nice 20v Corrado  so should have experience.

ive used tipton garage of recent years its further afield in tipton st john but did a great job on my engine. 4wd RR for ecu set ups seem some great classic cars down there.

Thanks for replying guys.
I'm just outside Taunton near Kingston st Mary. I have all ready got the car booked in with Tipton garage. But I'll have to cancel it. I've done a compression test and found I've lost all compression on cylinder 3 and only have about 10% on cylinder 4 so it's a safe bet to say it's very poorly. I've not removed the head yet if I get chance I will. I'm toying with just transporting the whole car up north to the guy I know and trust not to rip me off and have him put it right. He's very clued up on his vag stuff. Sorry for the late reply thanks for your help. This is all very good timeing with me in the middle of but a new house and all 😬

It's always hard to find someone good and trust and when you move you start all over again. not far from myself then I'm in Norton Fitzwarren although I'm no help with 20v's. Convoy for a meet when she's running!!
