PeteVRT 22 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well a little update from yesterday and today, got a fair bit done. Dash support and heater box out along with fusebox and dash wiring. Engine and subframe out, started stripping the Vento of bits I need, got the central locking pump out and some of wiring and pipework for the locking, fitted the fuel flap actuator, not sure where the pump exactly goes on the Golf, it seems a tight squeeze compared to the Vento it was just pushed inside the rear quarter. Any ideas? Maybe the Golf has a smaller casing round the pump? Fuel pump and pipes removed as somebody had cut the pipes while it was parked up a couple of years ago Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Looks like you've had a busy weekend! Pump for Central locking is normally located behind drivers side rear light, so you've almost got it right. And those recesses in the b pillar, I've got those on my 97 5 door. Working at this pace it won't be long before you're up and running. Well done! Sent from my Vr6 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

The pump was in the passenger side qtr on the Vento and pulled out the pump wiring loom from there as far as the dash, need to get it out the drivers side yet and wherever else it goes. Is there normally a bracket holding the pump do you know? Want to fit it in the right place Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The pump and it's poly box is held in place with a rubber strap I believe. I'll check when I'm outside in the next few minutes. Sent from my Vr6 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Need to know also does the vac pipe run through on the drivers side, I've got the loom and washer pipe on the passenger side, and two rubber bungs on the drivers side I'm presuming the pipe runs on that side?

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 looks like a vacuum running off through drivers side and orange one going to boot solenoid? Sent from my Vr6 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
PeteVRT 22 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Aaah, cheers for that. Looks like the poly box is different, trip to the scrappers is in order. I tried the boot actuator from the vento but the rod is too short so need one of these too and the pipe that runs from it to the pump Link to post Share on other sites

PeteVRT 22 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Well only a little update, engine and box out the VR thanks to a few helpers, James Cunningham thanks. Really didn't feel like doing anything today, not well but a bit of brute force and ignorance it was out, Kyle motivates me a lot he doesn't stop or give in Edited April 27, 2014 by PeteVRT Link to post Share on other sites
