  1. hey all, need some help i was out and about the other night and my mk1 vr6 cut out and died. have spark but no fuel my fuel pump relay is working but the ecu fuel pump control wire is not doing its job. when i earth the ecu fuel pump pin on the relay and the pump is pumping, you can hear it, she still wont start tho.... any ideas? when i turn the ignition on the throttle body buzzes for a bit too, so am i right in thinking the ecu is still alive? What about the crank sensor? im not to good at this stuff any help much appriciated? one thing i dont have a diognostic port either :-(
  2. well tbh i didnt, i bought her on the 1st of jan this year overheating and in a sorry state.i can tell you how though, the front subframe hasa had some fab and bends upwards to bolt into the two large bumper bolts where the bumper slides into the chassi. the middle two are bolted to a fab'd cube shaped piece of metal that is welded to the inner wing. the wishbones bolt in to the area between the fire wall, holes were cut into the footwell to get access, one of which still needs plating over... the rear two line up with the box part of the floorpan and bolt in under the front mats... i have fit
  3. photobucket tools are awsome for ya pics....
  4. hey, heres some pics of the engine and the arches i fitted today, will be drilling the silver rivets back out and fitting black ones when they arrive...
  5. thanks for the good feedback,i'll get some engine pics soon, nothing special if anything a little untidy under there... had a few issues with coolant airlocks which i think ive sorted now (trolly jack and a steep hill), some water stainage that needs a good clean! other than that removed the plastics to see the polished obd2 inlet and 10mm blue ht leads... im wanting to get her lower but due to the wider vr6 running gear i cant drop the front anymore. i have two options either hack the arches to bits and fit the mk1 plastic arches in my garage or fit mk2 16v wishbones driveshafts and po

  8. hey all been busy she's lookin sweet now! the longer i own my mk1 cabrio the less i want a hard top, i kinda saw them like escort rs turbo cabs... i really wanted a hard top mk1 gti for ages but not now... top down on a hot day with a full stainless vr is priceless lol.
  9. hey all, for those that dont know i have a mk1 cab vr6 project, i have tryed various ways of wireing the mk1 tacho up and failed lots... blown ecu and fuses and all sorts! ive tryed the proper way of doing it with several different resistors to no avail... so now ive fitted an aftermarket tacho, bit ugly but being a regular at santapod its a must. i wired it up today via my vr6 ecu signal and it doesnt seem right. it jumps about a bit and seems sluggish, its set on six cylinder and ive tryed it on all the cylinder settings. does anyone know how i could hard wire an aftermarket tacho from the
  10. hey all bit annoyed with the vr toady, ive been attempting to wire my rev counter on my mk1 conv and my coilpack has split!!! i done the resistor of coilpack terminal trick( which you may or may not be familiar with) and just as i got it working the car started running really rough. on closer inspection after pulling of the ht leads two of them made no difference to the running. on the end where them two fit the pack it has split and some hard grey stuff is hanging out!!! didnt know they could just split.... i had it of in the last month or two and it was fine, very strange stuff! i wonder i
