Re: Diesel Fuel Tank Removal

Be prepared to clean more than just the tank. Might have to fix some body rust If nothing has moved for 6 years, that fuel pump and the injectors may be stuck inside with old fuel gunk. That's another topic. Is that a plastic tank?. Thanks for the reply! I assume it’s plastic, since the magnet does...

Re: Diesel Fuel Tank Removal

Thanks for the replies! I emptied the tank by siphoning (couldn’t find my spare fuel pump, but will keep looking!) and filtered it before putting it back. The fuel lines pass clean fuel through, though there may yet be plaque to flush out. I think I’m ready for the fresh fuel filter - although the o...

I’m Looking into fuel tank removal, for cleaning purposes. This ‘85 diesel golf has sat for 6 years, is ready for the road again, but - before I fill it up and change the fuel filter- I’d like to ensure the tank and fuel lines are clean.

Re: WTB: Vane style vacuum pump

Have you checked Hans Auto Parts? I have purchased pump rebuild parts from them, including vane/feed pumps, rebuild kits and a new rotor head. All good parts that worked well.

Re: 1991 Jetta Heater Box...Tape Over Deflector Holes???

Grainger Inc. can get it for you if you want another roll. I used to do HVAC repair as a R&M tech for a grocery store chain and got it there once. Don't you think the muffler tape will work as well? I mean, that I want to get it right, since I was paid to replace this heater core in a neighbor's...

Re: 1991 Jetta Heater Box...Tape Over Deflector Holes???

I'll give it a whirl, though I'm afraid that I may need to cut my way into the heater box from the front. I see that someone else has used muffler tape to repair the air flaps, which I do have and I think it similar to the product that you used. Thanx for your time and help with this issue.

Re: 1991 Jetta Heater Box...Tape Over Deflector Holes???

I know this refers to an old post, but I thought you might have the requisite information regarding my need. I've just installed a new heater core in a '97 petrol Golf. The heater core is hot at all times, since there is no inlet valve. Now, the heat's not working very well - even though I've gotten...
