Re: [mk2-16v] Part Out Negotiation?
I did this about 15 years ago with sciroccos. I bought them cheap and parted out the interiors/power trains. Sold the stuff via the old scirocco mailing list. I generally sold things for half the price of junkyards. Some thing I'd ask for offers one with the proviso that the buyer had to make it worth my effort to package and ship it. So I'd find out how much it cost at a junkyard then offer half of that.

Any chance the fuel in the tank could be contaminated? Since I think you said you're in California, the fuel here is probably the worst in the U.S.. With the ethanol and other crazy additives that's in it, it has an extremely short shelf life. An other thing, I wonder how the fuel pumps are? If either the main or transfer pump aren't healthy, that can cause weird running problems. The easiest way to check the pumps is to disconnect the input line at the fuel distributor and have someone turn on the ignition for a second. You should get a really healthy stream of fuel. As I recall, the main pump operates at around 50psi, give or take. We're reaching for straws at this point, so the more you check that looks correct, that's fewer possibilities to deal with. ~Holland > On Mar 1, 2016 10:15, "Larry Velez" wrote: > I just checked and Marren is still in business and still rebuilding > injectors of all ages: > > > > https://www.injector.com/ > > > > https://www.facebook.com/MarrenFuelInjection/ > > > > -Larry > > > > From: mk2...@googlegroups.com [mailto:mk2...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf > Of Holland Phillips > Sent: Tuesday, March 1, 2016 12:56 PM > To: mk2...@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have? > > > > I agree with you Chad.

I just thought of something. Any chance the fuel in the tank could be contaminated? Since I think you said you're in California, the fuel here is probably the worst in the U.S.. With the ethanol and other crazy additives that's in it, it has an extremely short shelf life. An other thing, I wonder how the fuel pumps are? If either the main or transfer pump aren't healthy, that can cause weird running problems. The easiest way to check the pumps is to disconnect the input line at the fuel distributor and have someone turn on the ignition for a second. You should get a really healthy stream of fuel. As I recall, the main pump operates at around 50psi, give or take. We're reaching for straws at this point, so the more you check that looks correct, that's fewer possibilities to deal with. ~Holland On Mar 1, 2016 10:15, "Larry Velez" wrote: I just checked and Marren is still in business and still rebuilding injectors of all ages: https://www.injector.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MarrenFuelInjection/ -Larry From: mk2-16v@googlegroups.com [mailto:mk2-16v@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Holland Phillips Sent: Tuesday, March 1, 2016 12:56 PM To: mk2-16v@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have? I agree with you Chad. At this point, I would perform a compression test. If that looks good, then I'm at a loss as to where to go next. Maybe look at the injectors. It's probably easier and cheaper to try and find some used, hopefully known good injectors, even if it's only one. Then you could swap them one at a time and see if you find a bad one. There are a couple of companies that do balancing and blueprinting of Motronic injectors. I had mine done by Marren Motorsports back in the mid '90's, so I don't know if they're still in business. They could perform just testing to check for flow and pattern.

Re: [mk2-16v] Anyone selling?
Ha! Well, my old one wasn't so slow once I swapped in a stage 3 G60 motor! Unfortunately my old car got completely molested, someone had the bright idea to remove the rear quarter windows and replace them with steel. So looking for an unmolested 2l GTi again. I'm fairly mechanical and want to tinker so it doesn't have to be a 100 point car. I don't like doing body/paint work tho, so prefer something clean in that regard. As much as I like the fact that the GLi's came with larger brakes, power accessories and mostly power recaros, I kinda want a GTi. Or a clean '93+ Corrado SLC...

Re: [mk2-16v] RE: Cordless Impacts?
I've had a Milwaukee 1/2" drive lithium cordless impact for several years. It works great, no issues. I went with the 1/2" drove as it has over 400lbs of torque in reverse. I've found those numbers on most of the guns are inflated. Ie: it'll say it has 250lbs of torque but it won't break free a bolt torques to 90ft lbs...

Re: [mk2-16v] Cross Country with an MK2
I drove my 16v from San Diego to Boston and back several times. Then drove that same car after I swapped a G60 motor in it from Cleveland to San Diego several times and Cleveland to Boston several times. Never got stranded, but had a few heart stopping moments...
