IP rebuild questions

Rebuilding a pump for my 92 Golf NA... it was actually a pump that I got on from a shop that rebuilds them. It was missing the cap and hardware that covers the timing piston on the back side. I have part to go on there from a spare pump, but I'm just wondering how to index it to the shaft that bears...

1/4 turn is 1/4 turn... so it shouldn't make a difference if the engine is cold or hot. That being said, I followed Bentley for the mk2 Golf, which indicated a cold engine for the 1000km retorque, and I was very surprised how much force was required to get that last 90 degrees. Yikes! I was expectin...

IP governor adjustment

Rebuilt and resealed the IP on my 92 Golf N/A... runs great, but there's a slight problem at idle. Idle speed is very steady, but when I engage the clutch, it drops too low as if it's not getting enough fuel. I'm just wondering if this could be a governor adjustment issue.... would backing out the g...

IP timing device question

I was rebuilding my injection pump (92 N/A) today and was looking at the timing device area, and I noticed that there's no fuel supply hole on the side (back of pump) where the cold start/advance cover is. There is a hole on the opposite end of the housing, but I think this hole feeds back to the va...

I would highly recommed the product from Duplicolor which is specially formulated for wheels. I don't know if the silver they produce is an exact match, but it's very close to the vw original colour. I did all 4 of my rims and followed with a clear coat and they look great! I had them sandblasted fi...

vane pump compatiblity

Just wondering if the vane pump assembly from a '79 1.5 rabbit would work in a injection pump for 92 n/a. I think the impeller and outer ring are machined as a matched set, so I'd be swapping both components... but I'm not sure if they're the same dimensionally over those years. Thanks in advance!

The coolant resevoir has a sensor/switch which signals low coolant and gives a blinking light. It is set to come on right around the min mark, so if you're a close to "min" any side to side movement of the car will make it come on... for example on a exit ramp. Try adding some coolant! Jake

92 Golf starter

Looking for a new brushes plate for the starter on a 92 Golf D. Does Jack sell these? Anyone know a source in Canada? Original Bosch part preferred!

98/99 mk3 Golf diesel?

I'm looking for a later A3 Golf 1.9 IDI, but I never seem to come across a 98 or 99 A3 in a diesel... only up to 97. Does anyone know if vw didn't offer the IDI Golf for those 2 years perhaps due to a conflict in marketing with the introduction of the TDI Jetta in 97? I'm in Canada but possibly the ...
