    Adaptronic was an Aussie designed ECU, which was bought out by Haltech. The owner/guru now works for Haltech and is the brainchild behind the R3 and R5 models.

    Yeah I think realistically there is an air leak given the fast idle, though I'm not sure I understand how that could relate to the richness? There is literally black soot coming out of the exhaust and the plugs foul very quickly with soot. The float not being right? Not closing the fuel needle valve (this I did change for one that came in the service kit).

    Front bumper GTI, fitting question?

    Leslie green replied to pugfrank's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    The sliders are not the easiest thing to make but will never rust so worth making a few adjustments so you can use then , a bit disappointing though for sure.I was tempted by them too but have got 2 used decent ones powdercoated instead as you are not the first that had an issue think there was a case a while back.

    Front bumper GTI, fitting question?

    pugfrank replied to pugfrank's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    Hi Leslie Green, thank you for your input, I decided to take the front bumper off again as I wasn't happy how the sliders and buffers were sitting. I removed the sliders from the bumper and on close inspection was quite disappointed in the quality of the sliders, every angle and all measurements were different, things out off square etc between the two. Quite disappointed as they were from a reputable supplyer in the 205 circle, I purchased them over 2yr ago so thought what the hell and took them to my vice with a hammer managed to manipulate them, so they both matched in shape. Today I bolted them back on the car and was more happy with the fit of the front bumper, tomorrow will tell when I offer up the arches, and I will report back.

    It looks like the slider isn't sitting into the groove in the bumper properly which is holding it out at the top

    Are you sure it's rich? The fast idle could be an air leak. Faulty gasket upon installation maybe? Have you looked for air leakage?

    No I think you need a gti loom to fit a gti engine etc . Some parts of the looms will be shared though I guess.

    I managed to get a much better main dash locally , mine I had ripped the 2 bulkhead screws out and near the centre vent was broken too. I've had the clocks in and out binacle and column on and off many times as each next part seemed to need the last part removing again to put the screw in. There just didn't seem to be enough room to get all the wiring in and trying to fit the large piece around the glovebox screwing up into the dash was a nightmare , 2 screws are lost in there somewhere can't get them out and the fusebox was in the way etc and the piece that went in front of the heater box to divert air only seemed to have 2 screws on the bottom into the heater box sides and I couldn't see how it was supposed to be held. I put a new piece of soft foam on the underside of the dash as it had turned to dust , not the easiest to cut but will never be seen and its stuck with contact adhesive pic was taken as I got it shaped before gluing . Of course now the dash is in my aerial lead arrived tonight ! Spend trying to put the roof wiring down the inside of the A pillar then realized it never went down there only the drain tubes lol IMG_20230329_150605 by Leslie, on Flickr IMG_20230329_182419 by Leslie, on Flickr IMG_20230330_160226 by Leslie, on Flickr

    Hi Richie .....can you enlighten us as to what an "adaptronic ECU" might look like please

    Made it - it's done. Might revisit the engine sometime, and the camber.

    Just out of interest are all the looms the same on all models GTi, XS, Diesels etc?

    The one that's on the Bosch TurboD pump thanks christian, I'll message the address

    really !! its getting worse, I knew it'd be like this if the pump came without a pulley the pulleys pictured above were both non-turbo. Lucas left, Bosch right if you have pics of yours with exactly what pump Bosch/Lucas D/TD that may help

    Front bumper GTI, fitting question?

    Leslie green replied to pugfrank's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    I haven't refitted my bumpers yet but that gap tends to be about 10mm from what I've read ,it just looks much worse on lighter coloured cars like yours , but loosening the bumper bar in the inner wing and at the headlight panel you may get a little adjustment to lift it up a bit but its more important it is parallel to the wing and doesn't run off.Once the arch is back on it will be less noticeable .

    I ran a 285 at 11:1 through a head skim no bother using an adaptronic ECU. Its quite a straight forward option if you dont find the right piston combo.

    Hi Andy, I had a look this morning. I have both versions of the pulley and indeed you are right, although they look different they both have the same timing marks and key way location. Which one do you want? The Bosch pulley (on the right in your photo) is much lighter. Not that it makes any difference, but the 3 Bosch pumps I have here all the the pulley with the 6 round holes fitted and the only Lucas pump I have has the star type pulley fitted.
  28. Gohn
    cheers xstian but both pulleys will fit on either pump both pulley keyways, centre taper and timing holes are the same the lucas pulley is the one with the 6 round cutouts also, the bosch pulley the outer face is recessed and the inner (closest to pump) is almost flush
  29. xstian
    It's from a turbo, I'll check this morning that it fits a bosch pump.

    That is, there is no way to take the left axle from some car and put it on the right so that it sits? just take the measurements and make a new one on top of the one already on the right of the picasso I have

    Front bumper GTI, fitting question?

    pugfrank replied to pugfrank's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    What gap should I be heading for here please too? Drivers side I cant get smaller than 10mm, which is the side the above images are actually off. The passenger side is sitting at about 6-8mm with bugger all adjustment available. Hoping some one who has done this before can offer some advice.

    The image below better shows how the bum[er needs to pull in direction of the red arrow, inwards at the top.

    Front bumper GTI, fitting question?

    pugfrank replied to pugfrank's topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    Ok bear with me here. images shows my set up, can some one confirm its correct please? The issues I'm having with alignment, I have tried to explain below. Bumper needs to go in the direction of the red arrow, inwards at the top. But the rubber buffer is tight at the yellow arrow, yet the slider is not touching the wing. The Blue arrow shows a clear gap between buffer and slider, yet the slider here is touching the wing and as you can see is taking paint off!
  34. Gohn
    yeah saw that pump in the link I've two Lucas pulleys and both look like the one on the left, and same as in your link so maybe you just can't tell from looking at them ? u could post it to a UK address , is it from a XUD9TD or non turbo ?
