Super Ron, should have 1m subscribers!! Eye for detail, and functionality is insane!
Thanks for watching 😁 sadly the massive amount of input I put in doesn't seem to equate to the output I get in return 😒 but it's all good fun 😁
@@SuperRon algorithms Ron! Maybe hit the shorts hard, even if it does feel like spamming, you just deserve so much more of a following than you have! Especially when your tech knowledge is on point, eye for detail, energy and positive character! And your videos the editing etc have only ever improved (we know your a perfectionist!). I appreciate the effort, I feel it’ll eventually pay off its just all about that algorithm for the potential Audience influx!
@@Handless_handle appreciate that, I have started with the shorts, posts and polls trying to wake it up a bit. The Caddy build has been a massive boost to the channel so hopefully it will carry on 😁
@@SuperRon I hope so mate! Keep up the great work regardless!
So many questions answered with this video. Now I can convert my fuel system to an fittings. Thanks Ron!!!!!
It is far superior, and looks awesome 😎 thanks for watching 😁
Have been stuck with my Mk1 1.8t build so appreciate all the info as fuel lines are next. Looking forward to intercooler and radiator pipework 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching 😁
Been loving this build series. And I’m just looking at doing the fuel lines on my turbo mk1 Escort project with AN fittings and fuel pumps etc, so good to see someone do them from scratch on a car. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 😁 yes doing a fuel system like this is pretty universal so can be applied to anything!
Good job again Ron. It’s going well. Pleased for u!!
Thanks for watching 😁
Was about to like before it even started🤣 Love your work men!
Thanks very much 😁
In South Africa we have a fuel injection mk1 caddy
They would be popular here, caddys stopped production in 1991 in the uk
@SuperRon the Mk1 was renamed the Citi golf and continued production till 2008 with interior upgrades, and they all went fuel injection with a 1.4 liter 1.6 liter and a 1.8liter R
@kgalalelomolaudzi472 yes I have looked up the citi, would be some cool bits to come over to the uk 😎
Perfect content! You are a HERO! 🙂
Thanks for watching 😁
Brilliant again 👌🏻
Thanks for watching 😁
"I'll put it all somewhere safe" in our house means, it'll never be found again!
🤣 the good thing about doing a caddy is you can store everything together in the bed 😎 thanks for watching 😁
In South Africa we get fuel injected mk1’s so the tank swap is relatively simple.
Yes there is so much more avilable for mk1s over there, very lucky!
Fantastic video and series Ron. Do you recall what size/type the AN fitting and hose is to join onto the turbo water feed hose please?
Thanks for watching 😁 It's a 10mm tube adapter to an6 from torques. I haven't fitted it yet but I can't see why it won't be any different to the fuel rail.

Hey man great vids, i am doing the same swap on mk 1 jetta. Do you have a wiring diagram for the 1.8T ARY? You would help me out big time
Greetings from Germany
I do, I have them on Elsawin but its on an old dealer laptop so I don't know how I would get them to you, no facility to email them I'm afraid.
Hello Ron! Hope all is good! Sorry if I missed it in the video- are your fuel rail hardlines 8mm to An6 for both the feed and return? It's been a great build so far!
Yes they are, I've linked them in the description 👍 thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon Top man! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Great video again! Roll on next Friday! Could you let us know what parts you ordered and where from as I need exactly the same 😎 keep up the good work 👊🏻
The swirl pot was off ebay and everything else from from torques, I've linked their ebay shop page in the description.
Legend 👊🏻
I think I cover most items in the video so should be able to find them all, the have every combination of fitting imaginable there 😎 thanks for watching 😁
Awesome video SuperRon. would you mind putting a link to place where you get you parts from please. Is it called torques?
Thanks
Yes I've put a link in the description 👍 thanks for watching 😁
Such a great video man. Learned so much. My only question. Can i run just the swirl pot set up you show? ( aluminum one with the pump ) . Can i use that to fuel my 1.8t mk1? Or should i run it how you ran it. Kinda got confused a little.
You need to have a pump to fill up the swirl pot. On a caddy I had to add the external one shown, on a mk1 you can use a gti internal lift pump to fill it. Or the external one like I've shown. Thanks for watching 😁
@@SuperRon thanks for the fast reply man! So i can use factory lift pump to fill the one aluminum one you showed in the video! Nice thank you!
@@SimplicityFab yes, but they never put a lift pump in a caddy tank, hence why I've had to go the external route. I've used this exact setup on a mk2 using the factory lift pump.
@@SuperRon awesome thanks. I was wondering how to keep the leveler too for the oem cluster. Ill get a oem lift pump but use aftermarket pump and swirl pot for under the car..
where is the o44 tank from?
We bought a batch of them off ebay a while ago, this is the last one though. Thanks for watching 😁
Can you list the part numbers on lift pump n 044 n little tank
The lift pump is a facet redtop, the part number on the main pump is on the video and the swirl pot was off ebay
@@SuperRonthanks . Does that facet support e85?
@@brian3739 yes I believe it does. But double check
What if your coming from a gti with dx engine?
Will fuel pump setup /pressure be ok or will it need a re-design as standard its very messy
Yes if the car is already fitted with multi point injection then that can supply a 20v fine.
@@SuperRon standard original gti
Yes should be good to go 👍
What size swirl pot is that? And where is it from
I think it's a 1 litre, and we got it off ebay a few years ago, we bought a few but this is the last one
Would I need a similar fuel setup for my mk1 caddy sport g60. I've got a fuel cell on top of bed then pipe dropping down underneath to a 044 fuel pump then straight to injectors. Runs fine but should I really change it
If it's a fuel cell it probably has a sump in the bottom for the pick up, and the tank is higher than the pump. This is more a problem with the standard slim wide tank. If you get problems when your tank is less than 1/4 full then this would be your solution.
@SuperRon fuel cell has nothing inside bar sender. Its gravity fed down to pump then straight to injectors still need to fit a fuel filter somewhere too
@richie7714 is the outlet on the top of the tank or the bottom? With the tank being above the pump it should be fine.
@SuperRon outlet is on the bottom bro . I've had a couple hicups when I've been at full throttle but not sure if it's fuel starvation or something else
@@richie7714 you should be ok with your setup, maybe get a fuel pressure gauge rigged up, the last thing you want is a g60 to go lean. It will only be in hard cornering/low fuel level you'll have problems if it is a fuel slosh problem.
