Mk1 16v Kr Engine code Dizzy cap and HT lead guide anyone???

Ez all

has anyone here got a mk1 with a 16v lump?
If so I need some help to determine which HT leads I need to fit the funny looking dizzy cap that clears enough space for the brake servo.

Kinda stuck with this so need som helpful advice boys n girlssssss


Cheers in love in advance!!!!

use the dizzy cap of a citroen BX,i just bought one for mine from the motorfactors  :wink:

and your standard leads will just plug in if theyre fine  

Ez guysssss

Ok I have done all this so how do i now determine the firing order and what do i do if the car is not starting up properly?

Been hearing something about the TDC having to be set. Is this correct?

Cheers

just got mine running mate the dizzy cap im using is off a 2.0 16v 9a passat and it points up so it misses the brake servo and that has the normal leads on it .i think the firing order is 1342 and it goes clock wise . but double check that i might be wrong

Ez Ash

I have been told its anti clockwise for 16v.
Will see how I go and get bak to ya…

ez!!!!

Ok…..

shoe sounds a lot better but i think i flooded it so letting her chill for the even n will crank her up 2 moro.

Hope she comes throo u kno guys!!!!!!!!

Ez all…..

So i cranked her up today and the battery is dead however as i was cranking her up i heard a couple of loud bangs i think u call it back firing maybe, or maybe the sound u get ona bettle like a loud pop.

Anyone know what that may be?

Cheers!!!!!

compression?

U mean on the injectors?
The car was fine prior to the service so it cant be anything major.
I was thinkin more like an air problem?
