Great advice - I once had the fuel starvation issue, caused by driving with the tank too low, something I will never do again. This caused my pickup filter mesh to get clogged (mk1 jetta).
Unfortunately VW agent don't stock the fuel tank unit any more. I have two Mk1 golf's one for racing and the other one is for the street,I also have a Mk2 Jetta modified . Your information is good to help people
Hey PJ, recently purchased an Mk1 thats seen better days and your videos have been absolutely insightful so please keep up the good work!! However, i had question regarding what you use to the clean the hoses and holes of the fuel pick up because i've recently changed my pump and hoses but still experience the occasional jerk when i drive out of my place because its a slightly steep driveway but then its fine after that
thanks for making this video it has helped a lot. I was hoping you could help me with something else, my fuel feed line is leaking i think form a hole or something in the pipe. Do you know how to replace that line?
Hi Pj. Your videos has been helping me with my car and help me learn by doing it myself thank you. Do you perhaps have a video on misfire. Since 2days ago when my car is cold I struggle to hold the idle or accelerate when driving losing power however when warm seems okay..
No I dont have a video on that topic ,but will try and do one soon. it could be something to do with your ignition system.,like spark plug leads or coil etc...or you could simply have a case of overfueling ,in the morning the plugs could be wet with fuel and that can cause like a misfire .Hard to pin point ,so you have to go through things by process of elimination... But do a thorough check on your ignition system,and then fuel system...
Thanks for the video. One question, how different are the mk1 to the mk2 fuel gauge setup. Do the mk1 have a voltage stabilizer as per the mk2. Want to see if I can use the mk1 voltage stabilizer for the mk2.
Thank you sir , all your videos has been helpful , i appreciate you for doing this kind of content. I have a mk1 , i wanted to ask you if the clutch has his own fluid for topup?
I did follow every step in your videos, the car drives smooth but once i hit 120km/H the car jerks and stop pumping fuel. Once you stop it doesn't want to start from there you have to pull petrol with your mounth for it to start to pump again. Please help😭😭😭😭
Hi PJ please help. 2007 velociti 1.4i on ignition the fuel gauge shows me the correct reading. but when i start the car the fuel gauge drops a bar down any idea why. thanks
Hi PJ I hope im on the right path, 1.3 carb. Ive replaced spark plugs, dizzy cap, coil, fuel pump, ive done the t-piece system for the fueling like you showed on another video. replaced fuel filter, new carb. new base plate but this car will have a misfire in low revs and when it picks up it revs clean or if i rev up gradually no misfire. however i noticed the carb intake is wet could that be an issue? and smoke comes from the branch so im thinking the carb intake gasket went and maybe messing with air/fuel as the car will drive but sometimes it will stall. I have also checked compression and check exhaust and branch for blowing but all came out fine. im also going through on my 3rd base plate in 7months. so my money is kinder on the carb intake maybe have a crack or the gasket.
Hi ,have you checked your spark plug leads ...? It happened to me ,.Although my leads appeared to be fine ,after I replaced them the misfire was gone. On closer inspection it turned out to be the coil lead .,it had a fine crack in it situated where it goes into the distributor,.. not sure if you viewed this video which I did on misfires on the spark leads. ruclips.net/video/nZMFH-ZdNE8/видео.html
And the fact that you going through baseplates so fast is an issue...are you maybe overtighten it?.. if its not airtight or cracked you could see some fuel laying on the intake
Not overtightened and yes there is always fuel sitting on the carb intake. I removed the carb and base plate trying to get the intake off but it's a real mission but you making me think that it could be the plug leads that might fix this issue.
Having a problem with my car not idling once it's on the road and im slowing down for a speed hump or something it also jerks from time to time what could be the problem?
How zit my mk1 1.8 carb cuts of while driving then I have to wait 10 Mins for it to start again and it cuts of again after I wait 10 mins I changed the fuel pump and put a new coil what could be the problem

Can you make a video on how to remove the front bumper without taking off the stiffener?
Thanks for the video. One question, how different are the mk1 to the mk2 fuel gauge setup. Do the mk1 have a voltage stabilizer as per the mk2. Want to see if I can use the mk1 voltage stabilizer for the mk2.

Hi Pj, my golf 1.3 carb first didn't want to idle, then the next morning it didn't want to start. What can the problem be?
Hi Pj, is it possible to fit an in tank pump on a carb tank for FI set up instead of changing the tank?
Ur the best
Thanks
Thank you sir , all your videos has been helpful , i appreciate you for doing this kind of content.
I have a mk1 , i wanted to ask you if the clutch has his own fluid for topup?
Hi .thank you..its a pleasure...and yes you may need to top up the gearbox oil if its necessary.
I did follow every step in your videos, the car drives smooth but once i hit 120km/H the car jerks and stop pumping fuel. Once you stop it doesn't want to start from there you have to pull petrol with your mounth for it to start to pump again. Please help😭😭😭😭
How old is your fuel pump..could be failing
Hey do you service vw mk1 around cape Town
Where can i find a fuel sending unit for a mk1 deiseal?
Cool vid
Thanks
Hi PJ please help.
2007 velociti 1.4i
on ignition the fuel gauge shows me the correct reading. but when i start the car the fuel gauge drops a bar down
any idea why. thanks
You need to open up the tank ,under the rear seat ,and do some inspection on the float /fuel gauge ..could be partially restricted
Hi PJ I hope im on the right path, 1.3 carb. Ive replaced spark plugs, dizzy cap, coil, fuel pump, ive done the t-piece system for the fueling like you showed on another video. replaced fuel filter, new carb. new base plate but this car will have a misfire in low revs and when it picks up it revs clean or if i rev up gradually no misfire. however i noticed the carb intake is wet could that be an issue? and smoke comes from the branch so im thinking the carb intake gasket went and maybe messing with air/fuel as the car will drive but sometimes it will stall.

I overlooked that and took for granted there is spark so won't be that but I had a similar issue with my mp9 velocity I will test that
Not overtightened and yes there is always fuel sitting on the carb intake. I removed the carb and base plate trying to get the intake off but it's a real mission but you making me think that it could be the plug leads that might fix this issue.
Having a problem with my car not idling once it's on the road and im slowing down for a speed hump or something it also jerks from time to time what could be the problem?
Could be number of things, like a weak fuel pump, or an air leak. Have u had a look at my video on the mechanical Fuel Pump, and also airleaks..
Hi Pj is this fuel tank for a carburetor or for fuel injection ?
Carburetor
Hey, any idea where i can find a fuel float for my mk2 Jetta? Please let me know
Go to bumper-to-bumper they have everything you'll ever need for your car.

How zit my mk1 1.8 carb cuts of while driving then I have to wait 10 Mins for it to start again and it cuts of again after I wait 10 mins I changed the fuel pump and put a new coil what could be the problem
What brand of fuel pump did you fit?. Did you check if your fuel separator is maybe clogged up?.
how can i check how many liters is my golf
You mean how many liters of fuel the tank holds
