  • GOLF MK1 : If your engine won't start after a cambelt change, but the cam and crank timing is in, you have probably overlooked the timing marks on the Distributor.

    This channel is golden... Been going through your videos for some months now and I've basically sorted out 70% of problems on my car just watching your videos. Keep up the good work man. I'm by no means a mechanic but your videos have a definitely saved me a lot bucks by not sending it to a mac... Just a side note...my car runs beautifully simply because I watch you. Keep up the excellent work man

      Hey, I'm very glad to hear this... And that I've actually helped someone with my videos. I'm also not a mechanic. It's just my many years of experiences with the Mk1 that I'm sharing with you guys. Never thought I'd reach so many people,.so many enquiries daily., but I'm enjoying it ☺️👍

    Howzit bru. Can you please do a video on advancing the timing for better performance

      Hi.. Advancing the ignition timing you just need to turn distributor slightly anti clockwise, but engine may ping under load.. Wouldn't actually advise this.

    Will you please do a video on how to fix the hooter, that metal part makes a scraping noise while driving its very annoying when driving and the hooter doesn't always work. Thank you

    Hello Pj You did a video on leaks and areas which could have problems which was great but I was wondering if the passanger side has water underneath the carpet area how do you know if it's the heater matrix or if it's just because of lets say driving through flooded areas. Is there any way water can seep through into the Matt due to driving through flooded areas and how can i water proof my car, I've lifted the Matt and see no holes in the body of the car.

      Hi. Sometimes water gets in from behind the front wheels, as the rain water splashes up against the body
      . Have another look in that area for small holes or rust build up

    Hey man your videos are really cool.
    Keep them coming! I have an '97 1.6 Carb that's extremely heavy on fuel...it runs really well, but I checked my choke aftet one of your videos and it's all set up correctly...any pointers as to why it's so heavy?

    • @pjs-golfmk1-diy
      @pjs-golfmk1-diy  2 года назад +1

      Hi. Thanks. It could be heavy on fuel, maybe due to carb needing a tune. Make also sure there are no airleaks. Ignition Timing, and also valve timing. Check on this
