Mk1 3 dr Ex diesel van

did you bleed the fuel system first mate? if there is air in it this will make it run c rap

foxy

I only bled at the injectors .
I thought i could force out any air by turning the engine over whilst being towed . (I bet i sound stupid dont i ??).

If that is no good ,can someone explaine the correct process of bleeding the system .

wheres bert? i know your there bert!

Out of memory i am sure you need to bleed the diesel. :dontknow:


But we need the expert Bert here :wink:

i spoke 2 my uncle hes found out a few photos of it il try and get them up this week

Cool  :y:

Azim, is it the Bosch fuel system or CAV on yours?

Azim no news from you so take it your busy pimping her up  :mrgreen:

Sorry guys my computer is down at the moment ,due to a virus .
Will be back on line hopefully this week .

Havent done anything this week due to sorting out a Peugeot 106 to sell  to raise some capital.

We shall wait  :mrgreen:

once running the diesel system will send any unwanted air back to the tank from the injector bleeed offs and from the fuel pump return pipe  :wink:  be ok once its run a bit  8)

First post since getting my computer sorted .
Had the Golf running a few times but was only running very rough .
We could see the air in the diesel line  running back towards the tank in the clear line before the fuel filter ,when the ignition was switched off .
Could this be a air leak in the tank ???.
Maybe when id removed the 10yr old diesel from the tank ,i didnt seal the fuel sender relay correctly .
I refitted the sender unit with the o ring seal and for the first time it started off the key .
Hopefully tomorrow we might get some where near smooth running .

Still a bit smoky though !!!!

I hope its sorted mate all the best
Keep us posted

Cheers :wink:

Im really miffed about what im gonna do  :cry:  :cry:  
Due to issues with her in doors ,something has got to go.
Im afraid my mk1 diesel van/car  is going have to be sold .
Anybody who needs a very good solid diesel van please
contact me on the following number Azim 07772322452 if there interested in her .
 Not really sure what i should be asking ,but will come with running original engine and trantula 13" alloys .

Was searching for something else and this thread appeared! Anyone know what happened to this?

Due to the lack of space and pressure from her in doors ,
 the mk1 was swapped for for a Mecedes A class .
I had too many projects on the go and the lack of offers on this
forum forced me to swap her .
The car is know on its side having a tinnel fitted for the immenent 4wd
and vr6 grunt that is going to be fitted very soon .
Not the way i would like to have restored her but i guess she's no longer mine .

I tried contacting you a few times but no joy mate.

Shame its not been kept orignal.

Anyway do let us know if the engine & the bits are for sale.

Cheers

The offers were far too low in my view .
The car has been gutted ,so please pm me any requests for bits .
Im not sure whats available ,but i can ask the new owner .

Pm sent mate

now thats what i call a barn find, ive just read this tread and i was getting excited as i read the pages, but it was a very sad ending, its a pity it could not be saved and kept orignal
