dont use the choke to start it,mine dont need any choke in the warmer weather,if theres a spark but not exellent at the plugs,check the rotor arm as they tend to burn the internal coil out.
heres my citi
I took it apart and put it back together with new bits,the A/C works well,i had to change the alternator,water pump,pulley bearings as the S.A sand killed them,must be a dusty place,or the owner lived on the beach  :wink:
forgot to say,the fuel filler neck is alloy,the front shocks need to be replaced with complete struts as the insert is not removable  :? the struts are now obsolete from sachs/boge too

Perfect condition citi golf ,that's one of the cleanest shuttles I have ever seen.

Hi,

I'm new here.
I'm from Holland and I also like the Mk1 Golf.
It is still a popular car here.
I own 2 of them, the first one is a 1980 GTI 1.6 totally original condition.
The other one is a 1983 4-door GL. First it had a petrol engine, now it has a 1.6 Diesel engine.
In Holland you don't have to pay road taxes if your car is 25 years or older, that's the reason I put the Diesel engine in it.http://www.mijnalbum.nl/index.php?m=fto&a=73&id=93118795&key=GLRGSLGA http://www.mijnalbum.nl/index.php?m=fto&a=73&id=93120470&key=DDFAKFOB

Goeie dag mennociti, ek will weet of Holland 2 deur mk1 gemaak het?

Bert's Citi is beautiful, it still has the original Benoni Volkswagen garage sticker on the back, very authentic.. Benoni is a mining town on the edge of Johannesburg, and is a dusty place, lots of mine dumps and stuff around the town..

The citi 1.6i engine rebuild coming along well……



Pistons are bizarre…….haven't seen any like this in a big block before…..



Intake valves are much much larger than exhaust….



Ports are weird too……but I do have a new gasket in stock for this manifold - leads me to believe this could be euro spec after all?
