This takes me back,The guide was written by your's truly about 20 years ago and modified by Rubjonny oh btw it's not Rubber Jonny it's Rubjonny lol

[@MK2GolfStories]

Oh man i've been calling you RubberJonny for ages hahaha I thought it was a funny name lol sorry about that! Also thank you so much, i have found a few of your guides VERY useful. You are an absolute legend

[@Gary_Bocking]

Sorry for any confusion I'm not Rubjonny, !! I'm GVK off the forums, you're right though Rubjonny does write some helpful stuff.

[@MK2GolfStories]

Oh sorry I misread your first comment. I thought it was written by rubjonny, I should be thanking you for the guide! It was really helpful and made a massive difference ! So thank you very much.

[@MK2GolfStories]

[@MK2GolfStories]

Carbs are an entirely different beast, i have NO experiance woth them, i believe you need to get them set up JUST right though!. check the forums / facebook pages, someone who knows what theyre doing will be able to help

[@olaniyanmichael640]

❤❤❤😊 I am really excited.

[@MK2GolfStories]

Thank you

[@MK2GolfStories]

I hope your conversion goes well

[@totte1015]

My emission test got passed, it only measured CO2, and I got the value 1,5 Does that mean 1,5 percent? I do have some backfiring when letting off the throttle So basically I should do this guide and screw the CO screw tiny bit clockwise?

[@MK2GolfStories]

i believe so yes, its takes the TINIEST of turns, so be very genetle with it. in teh end mine went to a local garage and they sorted it out properly, a mixbetween the o2 screw , the idle screw and the electronic timing

[@markflight8656]

Dude I need your help man no one knows what's up with my mk1 with the 1.8 16v engine. Starts when cold not atall when hot :( any advice will help! I have videos

[@MK2GolfStories]

@@markflight8656 hi mate Have you tried disconnecting the connection to the WUR (warm up regulator) on the side of the engine (think it controls 5th injector ). You could always try asking Grey Goose on here or Instagram, he knows his shit

[@zaccharalambous9664]

Hey bud really helpful tutorial only thing is for me it won’t start after removing the breather and wire any ideas

[@MK2GolfStories]

Hey man, try it with just the wire out first, how does it do? Maybe try unplugging that while it’s working. If the revs plummet turn the idle screw until it steadies out (make a note of how many turns and in what dir incase you need to undo it)

[@zaccharalambous9664]

@@MK2GolfStories hey bud if I unplug the wire whilst running it jsut dies instantly. I think it may be overfuelling only recently picked it up. Very nee to krs so any help is appreciated

[@MK2GolfStories]

@@zaccharalambous9664 wind out your idle screw (make a note of how many turns ) and try again

[@mcjdubpower]

Loves me a bit o Kjet

[@MK2GolfStories]

Ohhhh yeaaaa

[@TheZigzagSmoke]

Mine is too high. Just failed emissions 4.5 % .. Just curious what is the red cable that you disconnect?

[@MK2GolfStories]

The red lead is to the ignition coil

[@MrStevecrasher]

It is red and black, this powers the Idle Stabiliser Valve/overrun cut of valve ECU in the centre consul and shuts down its operation BUT this is not a necessary part of setting the CO.

[@ttcinemas570]

is this the same exact way for a 1986 8 valve cis e ?

[@MK2GolfStories]

I really couldn’t tell you, I’ve no experience with that engine I’m afraid.

[@MrStevecrasher]

You don’t block the Air Flow Sensor Input, no point and with the breather hose still attached to the inlet manifold via the bleed hose you are still pulling crankcase fumes Into the inlet manifold. Disconnect the breather hose from the block breather, cover the outlet to stop you breathing shit and allow clean air into the breather hose.

[@MK2GolfStories]

Ah thanks for the info, could only go off rubber johnnys instructions as that’s all I had at the time. Thanks!!

[@jyarrow29]

CO, not CO2. MoT tests don't measure CO2...

[@MK2GolfStories]

Whoops!! Your absolutely correct thanks I will Update the title

[@MrStevecrasher]

Yes, Carbon Monoxide, not Dioxide… BIG difference.

[@hichemrh5893]

Hello brother I hope that you are doing Well I need an advice from you about mk2 GTD 1.6 year 89 Cause i found one but i never had a diesel car so any word from you it will mean a lot for me Best regards from algeria

[@MK2GolfStories]

Hello man! I will try my best to help you; although I am by far no expert! What’s your question? Feel free to ask

[@hichemrh5893]

@@MK2GolfStories Thanks again for asking M'y question is about the engine and his duration of life problems ect... Thats all.

[@MK2GolfStories]

I don’t really know myself, I have only owned one diesel golf and it’s the 1990 GTD. there have been a lot of issues with mine but none so far have been the engine itself. I believe they should be good for over 200,000 miles
