1985 VW Scirocco Mk2 | Part 5 - How to Install the Fuel Delivery System (Tanks, Accumulator, Pumps)

[@lightbender1622]

GREAT Video! I have an 81S that my boys and I are about to tackle. This is very helpful. You've done a superb, careful job of including the sorts of fine detail that one ordinarily has to discover for oneself. Thank you!!

[@ParksandRecYT]

Thanks! Good luck on your project!

The gravity/vent valve has a black hose on the top of it. When I pulled on it, it was not connected to anything. According my Bentlley Manual the diagram says it goes to the Expansion tank. Do you happen to remember what you came across? I have an red 85 rocco just like yours :) Thank you for posting all these scirocco videos

Quick update for you. Just had my own tank refitted by a local garage 😬. I did supply them with a pair of NOS Mk1 Golf metal fuel lines. Pleased I did, as this was where the majority of the corrosion problem was. Now the carb jets have been cleaned and she's supping on clean fuel the drive home was a joy! Yes it did cost me in time, but worth it! Oh guess what, they found out my ignition barrel was dodgy too... think there might be a vid on how to change that somewhere!!! 😆

[@ParksandRecYT]

NICE! Glad to hear she's on the road again. I'm still waiting on fuel filter parts so I'll have to wait a bit more to try to start my Mk2 and see if I put the rear end together correctly. Those ignition modules are a poor design to be sure. Thanks for the update! Appreciate your comments.

Just want to say a huge thank you for continuing with these videos. Im from Hull, Yorkshire over in the UK and your videos are helping me find the inspiration for me to fix mine. I've got a 91' Scala model so slightly different but practically exactly the same :D Keep it up youre a huge help!!

[@ParksandRecYT]

Hi - Thanks for the comments! Knowing there are folks out there that enjoy what I'm doing gives me the encouragement to keep moving forward. I appreciate it!

[@khimba6333]

[@ParksandRecYT]

Hope this helps you get back to driving!

W0W there's More videos!? ! I've had my 1984 Scirocco sitting for 26 years. Was Rear Ended, Failed to get insurance companies to make me & my car Whole. It Ran GREAT, could eat off engine, [but don't]. Insurance Co had car for 2 months, would not return, Finally Demanded Return, only to receive it Flooded with Water, & NOT Running. Never could get it running since. Quite bummed. Forgotten much of what i learned, tho, still have Book, Car, and working on Desire; This will sure help, *Cheers!* _sorry for rant_

[@ParksandRecYT]

Crazy story. Hope you can find a way to get your 84 repaired and running again.

hi i need serious help time urgent I started with hearing a buzzing noise coming from the main fuel pump inline and barely made it home as it started to die and stall I replaced both fuel pumps and fuel filter and I'm still getting a buzzing noise from the main fuel pump and its brand new it runs now but not sounding how it did before this all started any ideas why

[@SurpriseHunters]

Im learning a thing or two here =) I know nothing about cars xD I hope you guys are doing good :) I have sent you an email :D

[@dylanhinkel3548]

Very interesting an detailed, I've found a scirocco with 30k miles on it for a good price with a dead fuel pump presumably. Looking forward to hopefully working on that car with help from this :). Scirocco and Volvo 200 are so beautifully boxy

[@ParksandRecYT]

Hope it works out - 30K miles is a find! Take a look at the fuel pump relay before you start as well.

Hey, I have been subscribed to you for close to a year, and I love your videos! Can you please do more Pokemon cards openings, cause I miss them. Thanks!

[@ParksandRecYT]

Bean & Bone - Official: Thank you so, so, SO much for subscribing and enjoying our videos as long as you have. It is viewers like you that have kept us going over the last few years. Thank you!!

[@heribertmueller9613]

Nice car, nicely doing the job, I saw some videos not 50th part worth your video where they had thousand of views. However, I really liked it.

[@ParksandRecYT]

Thanks again! We really appreciate it!

[@abelgarcia6922]

Could you tell me where you bought the fuel sending unit that you took the float from? Thanks for sharing these videos. I have a scirroco engine on my WV rabbit

[@ParksandRecYT]

It was sort of a fail. I bought one on ebay which indicated it fit a Scirocco, but ultimately it did not. I took the float from it as it was a direct match. Best I could say at this point is to check out the photos for one similar. Probably not much help. Sorry. Good luck.

[@abelgarcia6922]

@@ParksandRecYT the one the you buy is tha one that I need, thanks
