    Really nice, any more pictures?

    Ok thanks.

    Rev counter reading high!

    Thijs_Rallye replied to 1905 adam's topic in Misc/General Technical

    As SRDT says. PCB of the revcounter. The revcounter is pretty easy to disassemble from the cluster.

    Thats good then thanks for the clarification. ECU temp sensor just arrived so will try changing that tonight and see what happens.

    When I convert a GTi Jetronic car to Motronic, I use the choke light as the engine management light. It's wire #75 and usually just hangs there, behind the cluster, doing nothing. The later GTi's in Aust. are all Motronic anyway, so they're a relatively easy conversion.

    Here is a brand new rev counter with the correct engine light and a 7k redline : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305966846036 You can also find the door(s) not closed or catalytic converter overheat warning lights on the same spot depending of the year and engine.

    Not the engine ECU, the PCB on the back of the rev counter. Only a few 205 are taking engine speed from the ECU and those are not GTIs.

    Hi, thanks. Do you mean the ECU?

    I'd check the PCB for cold joints.

    Hi all, After some advice. 1987 1.9L (ph1). Completely stock. Running well. Rev counter has just started to read high intermittently. I’ll be driving around with it reading accurately, then for a few minutes it’ll read about 1000rpm higher than it should. Then it’ll settle back down to being accurate. Any suggestions as to what to check? Many thanks!

    Looks like I bought a 69mm exhaust clamp of ebay which appears to be right for a phase 2 (genuine part number is 1713 56). should have really used some exhaust paste I guess ...

    The gear change was too tight after fitting new plastic bushes so as the rods were worn I fitted a Bakerbm quick shift plus new rods which have little locking spring clips , all this was a right faff to fit on ramps but it's on now and gear change is much lighter but I've just left it at standard throw for now , there seems a long throw from 2nd to 3rd compared to more modern cars but its's no big deal . I also fitted the rear badges and 8 little grommets in the passenger floor which would have let water in , these are bullet shaped originally but I just fitted standard ones .The gti doesn't use these holes if Id known at the time id have welded em up lol. Waste of time putting heat paint on the manifold its all gone already ! Tightened up the manifold springs to reduce a blow in the exhaust but think its more at the back and the clamp I've fitted isn't the right size ,I think it was a 55mm one , tightened it up a little too and its a bit better . Once the rocker cover leak was fixed it seems the oil leaks have slowed a lot so I hope that continues ,done 180 miles now , had a quick bolt check today and all seems good and have ordered a spare tyre , will be here next week.Wheels are grey with brake dust as the pads start to bed in . After the car came out the mot the steering wheel was way off centre having been aligned before it went in so I've straightened it up again by moving a couple of splines , the sideways push/pull test on the mot ramp is sore on them .

    Hello @hoodygoodwood, You got an earth for the coil on your loom? Im now getting fuel but no spark, and i've heard that theres sometimes a coil earth that maybe i'm missing? Everything else checks out, i'm kinda stumped.
  19. SRDT
    It's normal, output resistance isn't linear in relation with flap angle. It directly represent the airflow that is pushing the flap. The L-Jetronic ECU is full analog and can't convert flap angle into airflow so the AFM does it and has to be fine tuned for pretty much each engine.

    Take on board all the comments (specially about the fuel pressure guage). I think i do have a spark as the car appears to recover just wont rev!! Although it may not recover immediately it may need 30 secs or more before it will catch again. This is when i took the AFM out and tested it against known good measurements out of Auto data manual. Will try everything before getting the platinum card out!!!!!1 I would have expected a nice linear resistance from closed to fully open or visa versa but appears to be all over the place (between terminals 5 & 7) - note i am pushing the flap with a bic pen!! 20250422_083436000_iOS.MP4

    It sounds very similar to issues I have had in the past with a duff air flow meter. Its worth checking other stuff mentioned as well though.

    205 gti 1.9 rear axle refurbishment

    GTI_E369 replied to GTI_E369's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering

    Ideal, I think I saw your username in some of the old posts, but I can't send private messages, assumingly because I'm a relatively new member. Would I need to get my beam off and send to you beforehand? Do you have prices? Appreciate you may not want to state on open forum, happy to discuss otherwise. Thanks again, Gareth

    Hi there, firstly apologies to create another thread which I know has been covered before, but I would like to buy a new refurbished axle for my 205, was going to use imaxles, but I don't think the torsion bars are the correct size... My question is, are any forum members still offering refurbished axles? I see on some previous posts this was the case, but conscious that time goes on and some of the topics I've read are quite old now. Hope someone can help, Thanks in advance, Gareth

    1 quick check - do you still have spark when it stops? Pull a plug wire off and earth it to the engine block with a spare spark plug and turn the engine over , should see a small spark and a ticking noise. Careful not to touch the wire/plug as it has a few thousand volts running through it. Cutting out when revving was one of the signs I found (as the pump had low pressure) Would strongly advise against having a fuel presure gauge under the bonnet, It is not needed when problem solved and too high a risk of a joint leaking above a hot exhaust.
  29. paul mcgrath
    Thanks for the advice guys. I will sort a fuel pump gauge out and maybe replace the fuel filter as well. The fuel filter was replaced when i put it back on the road in 2015ish cars probably done around 3k miles from then (if that but it may be ropey) and i was thinking of getting another fuel line off Baker anyway and fitting a gauge permanently within the line across the top of the engine where the yellow arrow is. I believe the fuel pump is running all the time, as the car runs its only when I try and rev it (or if i'm driving it), put it under load, it cuts out or throws a wobbler as in video. I have also tested the AFM as the Autodata manual says and that appears to be a bit iffy. I have a video on that which i will try and upload. Hopefully its not that as they appear to be a bit spenny as well. Like i say dont want to start firing the parts cannon at it so will check fuel pressure and status (whether tacho relay is working properly or not) and go from there. Thanks for the advice guys it really is appreciated.

    All of that is the same as my loom, which I believe was from a 405. The only difference is I accidentally bridged 32 and ground last year while troubleshooting and melted them. All I should need to do is run 32 from the coil and the ground to the main loom ground, as well as an ignition live to pos 2 of the coil to have them the same.
