VW Golf MK1 Starting Problems - FUEL

admin — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 13:27:54 +0000

Now that the MK1 Golf is getting on a bit in age. There are a few regular problems that turn up. If you are having problems starting your MK1 Golf it may be worth checking a few of the basics listed below.

Fuel Pump - This applies to both Gti and Carburettor Problems.
This is now a regular problem especially of the fuel injected Models. If youve had a rusty fuel filler neck this will have undoubtedly put rust into your fuel and in turn Fuel pump. Rendering it useless or just partly working.

Fuel Filter - This applies to both Carburettor and GTI models also. And by far the cheaper option than above. Its worth changing the fuel filter very regulary, especially on Carburettor models as they only cost around a pound for these will the fuel injection ones around £8-10.00
Changing these regulary can save ££££ worth of damage to your fuel pump.

VW Golf MK1 Old skool project ready for paint job

admin — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:26:34 +0000

As a huge fan of all MK1 golf’s i always love to see a fully restored car or one undergoing restoration. The clip below shows a wicked MK1 Golf Old Skool projetc. Fully grey primered ready for paint. Hopefully the fully finished version we be available to view shortly.

Personally if your doing a FULL ‘Proper’ Restoration i would remove all glass and strip down to the basic shell as has been done here. I understand no one ever wants to remove the dash, and i dont blame them its and absolutley nightmare. Mainly the fusebox and wiring cause so many problems. If your removing the dash you’ll probably end up re-wiring the whole thing.

Anyway enjoy

Volkwagen Golf MK1 - A modern day classic

admin — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 10:13:36 +0000

With the VW Golf MK1 (Rabbit in the US) Now fast becoming a ‘Modern day Classic’. There
is fast become a growing market for ‘Restored’ Cars. With the most desirable examples
i.e. the Campaign edition Commanding premium prices.

The German Built Volkswagen MK1 was first produced in April of 1974 and production continued until 1983.
Over the years the models were updated. From the metal chrome bumpers to larger plastic ones. 5 speed Gearboxes,
Fuel injected engine 1600cc then the 1800cc All Followed.

The earlier models (pre 1979) Are also now becoming very desirable. The chrome bumpers alone are fetching big money.
The main problem with the earlier models is they rust. The main areas they rust are the inner front wheel arches, Outer and inner sill panels, Front and rear floor sections and the Inner rear arches. If you manage to find a good one grab it. Quality early cars can appreciate in Value and therefore will offer a good investment.

1981-83 Cars were produced in great numbers with the GTi and Convertible been the Top of the Range. Yet these still suffer really badly with rust. There are plenty of 1600 gti hatchback still around, yet finding a good one is becoming increasingly difficult. Apart from rusting they also suffer with numerous fuel Injection faults often caused by the fuel filler neck rusting. If you can get your hands on a ‘Good one’ not only will you have a good usable everyday car but a ‘modern classic’ that should increase in value.

The most desirable now among enthusiasts and collectors is the ‘Campaign’ Edition. This was made from August 1983 until 1984. This model features Factory Fitted steel Sunroof,Leather Bound steering wheel, Green tinted glass, Spring loaded fuel cap key cover , Fog lamps in the grill and Pirelli ‘P’ Alloys. The models command some serious prices. But when looking at purchasing a campaign model as the are a lot of ‘Fake’ ones out there.

VW Golf MK1 Repair Panels

admin — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 10:01:58 +0000

As the MK1 golf has now turned into a ‘classic’ the big problem is obtaining parts. One of the main problems is repair Panels. As now all major repair panel manufacturers have stopped making panels they are increasingly different to obtain. Panels such as the front panel, rear wheel arch repairs and rear panels are now becoming like rocking horse @#=@.

There are still some available but the hard to find panels are now commanding a premium. The best option now are Ebay and owners clubs forums. BUT be prepared to pay a premium for these.
