this is somethign id really concider trying on my car, but where youd you reccoment putting the hose into the engine? i know you have said the idle screw but can you let me knwo where that is as i dont wanna end up putting it in somewhere that will damage my engine?
is this the idle screw? how do i know where it should be set when i screw it back in ? should the engine idle at 1000 rpm? or just above/below? Edited by: Steve B
Where would I put the pipe on a 1.6 GTD? before or after the intercooler? If your woried about doing this remember a lot of rally cars have cold water induction to reduce the temp of the air along with inter/charge coolers.
Not familiar with Tractor engines, so I wouldn't know what vacuum ports you have. You'll need to do it when it isn't producing any boost, for a start.
Not often, I'm not a great sleeper...... but I have a pint of whiskey beside me which may help.......
haha lol you at inters this year then i did see ya last year whiskey in one hand and keys to a corsa in the other with raging camp fires i think you were talking to nordoff or trendy tramp i cant remember?
It'd be TT, if it was at the camp site - come and say hello this year, I'm not always as nasty in real life as I come across! It'll be an A class Merc hire car this year - you won't be able to miss it with the "Easycar" stickers all down the sides.......
lol and the missing bumper and alcohol covered intirior i remember seeing that corsa careening around last year lol i can see the merc in a tree or something by the end of the weekend lol ill say hi if i catch ya so im definately not gonna f**k me engine up doing this am i i have very little cash (i.e. none) to get it fixed if it goes wrong the water flow will pretty much regulate itself through one of the vacumm tubes (gonna rip on off my old valver and use that)?
Keep the revs up around 2-3k, if it bogs down then either give it more throttle or take the tube out of the water.... I gave my long laid-up 8v a dose today at 6000rpm - 3 pints of water later and it runs as good as a new one, at 150k.
sweet well ill let you know how it goes im changing my injectors cnaging a thermostat and my speedo cable on sunday or monday so ill do it then ill let you know how it goes i bet the bast*rd still wont start after all that anyway but still you reccomend it being up to temperature before i let the water through ?
Yup,it needs to be hot. You want the water to flash into steam instantly, so keep it boiled up while you put the water in.....
When you're resetting the idle afterwards, you need to disconnect the red/black wire at it's connector by the coil. Turn the screw until it idles at 1k then reconnect the red/black wire. P.S, it takes ages to run through so you can see there's not much water going in. Joe
My neighbours are well used to it! They're just wondering why their kids can't hear properly...... It went through rather quickly, actually - a 1.5 litre coke bottle full was gone in no time!
[RANT] I don't care if you call my engine a "tractor engine", as my car has more bhp/kw (80/59 @ 4500 rpm) than the driver (75/55 @ 5000 rpm) produces and let's face it a lot of people on this forum own a Driver and ask how to improve the performance of their car. It obviously has a hell of a lot more torque than a driver as it has 144lbs. ft/155Nm @ 2500-3000rpm compared with the 92lbs. ft/125Nm @ 2500rpm of the 1595cc >09/90 driver engine and its only .2 or a second down on the drivers 0-60 time and obviously allows more MPG. all figures quoted from the Golf Driver/Golf GTD sales documentation dated 09/1990[/RANT] Anyway on to what I was going to say about your post: The GTD doesn't have a vacuum port as its a DIESEL, VW MK2 GTD TD (SB) engines don't have a vacuum system, which is why I asked the question in the first place.
