1.3 running issue. HELP!! MOT Monday
Go to try drive it today to check things over. Car revs fine when stationary, can reverse off my drive no problem (which is sloped upwards) but once up and off my drive, select first gear, try to pull away and it just bogs down and won't rev.
First of all thought it was 1st gear so tried to pull away in 2nd but its still wasn't having it. I've check all the vacuum pipes to the carb and found nothing so I'm thinking it must be the carb?
Any ideas? I know it can't fail the mot on this but it's so bad I won;t make it there under its own power.
Please help need it fixed ASAP
Thanks in advance

But how would it find reversing no problem but going forward is? That's what's confusing me.
Thanks again

Check your rear drums are not binding.

Checked before even attempting to drive it. All fine and free up after break is applied.
Trying to get at the fuel tank filter as suggested. How do I get the sender unit out of the top of the tank. Sure there was a thread explaining but can't find it.
Thanks

Obviously have to remove the fuel pick up and return pipes right?

Did an engine conversion a while ago and hadn't driven it since. Turns out i attached the gear linkage a couple of splines out. So when in what I thought was 1st was really 3rd woops :redfaced:
Feel an idiot but at least nothing costly, and once i had noticed about a 5min job.
Thanks anyway guys. Hope it passes tomorrow

I had the same trouble, 1st gear was only available by going into the reverse detent.. Was a pig. I left it to the garage to sort. He said it was ok geting it set for 1/2nd but with it like that 5th was unobtainable.. I had a chuckle and then apologised that the MK1 GTi golfball 5spd knob was a bit inacurate as the car was only 4 spd..

Was hard at work last night, managed to get and fit a new centre exhaust section. Do a couple of earths on the rear light which were playing up and get the front hub off and sent with the new bearing to be pressed in.
Only issue I still have is the emissions. its meant to be a 4.5 but is a 6.5
Anyone got a link to the pieburg carb setup I can't find on here? lol
Booking it in for a retest tomorrow.
Thanks
