Don't use any gasket seal on the sump or the filler
Make sure both mating surfaces are nice and clean
Work grease into your cork gasket and don't over tighten the nuts/bolts better a little slack than over tightened and stripped

It's a very common problem on the digi mk2s
The earth has to be a very good connection
ecu's are cheap as chips for the golfs unfortunately I would imagine like everything for the t25 it will be expensive

You have defiantly blown the ecu.......it's the same thing on golf mk2 running digi On the golf there is a earth that goes to gearbox which is usually overlooked when the gearbox as been off clutch etc, if not replaced it blows something in the ecu which causes the injectors to run constantly ,if wh...

Mines 5mph out and is also running standard wheels and original untampered speedo

The clash reporting back for duty....sir ! Defiantly no hole on the smaller end of the insert ..there is now though ,I managed to force a small needle through the end not an easy task. Very odd that it must of left factory like that no wonder I could never sort over choking from cold fingers crossed...

Kev it drives exactly the same with insert in or out
Itchy does your insert have a hole at both ends because mine as a hole at larger end and no hole at smaller end if you look at pics u can see

I left it out of the new pipe and once fitted and fire...

Thanks davefriday will give it a try next Saturday.....keep your fingers crossed

Thanks very much great info...not used to working on these dirty dervs

So how do you slacken the belt to remove it while we slip on the alternater belt
Also how do you stop the waterpump pulley spinning while tightening it up

My mk2 golf does this common fault usually the clocks have intermittent fault
If temp gauge reads ok and water levels are ok I wouldn't worry

Mates alternater belt snapped on his JX he as a belt in front of it running crank pulley to waterpump pulley so we need to take this belt off to install the alternater (waterpump to alternater) belt , question is where or how is the front belt tensioned

Ok thanks itchy........fuel injection so much less hassle
