got it, did it; worked great. Thanx! - Michael

Been done once; can probably be done again. It did split right down the middle, but where there's a will, eh?!

I need the seal around the outside/top of the door for a 4 door, '85 Golf.

Good Morning Andrew, I need a pump throttle/ governor control spring assembly, the rod that holds the springs together, on my spare pump broke. This is for my spare pump for my '85 1.6L diesel Golf. Please let me know if you've a spare to sell. Thanx! Michael, Eugene, OR.USA

I searched the forum and looked over Jack's stock; didn't find it. The last ice storm caused my old, oft' repaired one to rip from one end to the other. If I can't find a new one for a "reasonable price" then I figured someone on this forum would have tried a novel approach. I love my car ...

Hello! Fatmobile told me about you. I need a throttle / governor control assembly. The thin metal rod that hold the springs in-place has broken. it's maybe about 10 cm long and 2 mm wide and have grooves cut in it to hold the spring retaining circlips in place. Thanks! Michael, Eugene, OR., USA

Corrections made! I hope these numbers are sufficient. Thx again!

Thanx for the ideas. I've cleaned the injectors by running a quart of ATF, have screwed-in the governor 1/2 turn and unscrewed the full-load adjusting screw 1/4 turn, which gives me more compression-braking control. I've also screwed-in my max-speed screw and have the idle adjust screw all the way b...

The very small metal rod holds the governor springs, connecting the throttle lever on the outside top of the pump to the control collar lever inside the pump. Pump # 068 130 107M. 1985 Golf, 4dr

I don't know about governor modifications. My aim, in rebuilding this pump, was only to have my Golf operable as soon as possible (ASAP!) I had been borrowing a pump from a friendly professional mechanic, which performed perfectly. However, I felt that it was time to rebuild my original pump which f...

Whilst going down a hill, in gear, the revs increase with no pressure on the throttle. So, instead of moderating my downhill speed, as it should, the revs increase instead. Also, during acceleration and shifting into higher gears, the revs are slow to decrease. I just changed all of the bushings, se...

Thanx for both replies; you both agree on the cause, 'iatrogenic' (doctor-generated!). I'll look for a new set and an extra #2. I'll be lovingly careful with the new ones when I install them, but I must first find them.
Good luck to you all! - MN

I exhausted search-term combos and didn't find anything for this subject, so here it is: I've run through two #2-injector pipes. This time, it's a broken flare-end at the pump - actually the sides of the flare are cracked, won't seal with any amount of torque and drip badly. Tell me: is this somethi...

I've moved to Oregon - sold the house in Seattle to co-purchase with Rachel (spouse) her father's house & land. I need a trailer now, to transport used rail-road ties up to the property; they come in 8' and 11'. I need a trailer, now. My brother in law has one that I may borrow, but I still must...
