Last time I worked on the GTI there was no spark, so I installed a new distributor, coil, plugs, wires, and ignition control module. I'm still having issues unfortunately so any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks for watching! New videos every Tuesday! Last weeks video - th-cam.com/video/L041okI0Zfc/w-d-xo.html

ABA & 1.8 8V Engine Tear Down
มุมมอง 1.8K6 ปีที่แล้ว
For the hybrid ABA/8V engine, I had to take them both apart. They are both very similar so it was pretty simple. I decided to give the ABA bottom end a good clean and fresh coat of paint while I had it stripped down New videos every Tuesday! Thanks for watching
MK2 GTI 8V Engine Removal
มุมมอง 7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Heres how to pull the 8V engine out of a MK2 Golf GTI. It would have been much easier in if we'd pulled the transmission out with the engine. The engine can't fit out of the bay without unbolting the entire transmission and sliding it out of the way so learn from my mistake and pull both as a whole Thanks for watching!

GTI Gets New Tires And Brought Out For Spring

It was a beautiful day over the weekend and my new tires were delivered so it seemed like a perfect time to break out the MK2 for this season. It started up first time I turned the key!

Please Help! ECU Immobilizer Delete Does Nothing
มุมมอง 2.8K6 ปีที่แล้ว
I sent my ECU out to have the immobilizer deleted out of the system. When I tried to start the engine, the immobilizer light came on right away as it did before I sent it out. After speaking with the guy I sent it to, he said it was likely an issue with the key although I am unsure. If you have any recommendations as to what I should do here, please leave a comment.

Installing Glass Pack Muffler On The New Golf GTI
I have a couple questions. Why can't you just use the distributor and intermediate shaft that came with the 2l?
Metering head it's a common fault with the gti
I just now learned that my car has a second external fuel pump. Just changed the one in the tank thinking I would be good to go, but nope! External is locked up. Guess I'll be doing this next. Thank you for uploading
The ignition module needs to be bolted to have a good ground.
Just bought a MKII Golf with this type of swap but the car keeps bucking in 1st and 2nd gears, I think the engine mounts need to be mounts meant for the ABA instead of basic MKII mounts that weren't designed for that torque. Any input appreciated
You make it look easy.
As much as this video doesn’t tell me s***, it actually made feel like going back and looking over my dizzy one more time.
Thank you buddy
Just went to replace my ignition coil. TURNS OUT I never had a ground connected. Tan just fine haha
How do I remove electrical?
Berbagi ilmu pak bagus ,sekali makasih ya pak ,,, 🙏
Ini bagus pak ⭐
u need the dewalt or makita blades!!
Enjoying this video. Have a 73 SB, will be following your restoration. Thanks for your details and informative style. The rust really eats the underbodies of the air-cool bugs. Be safe.
Man please how you do the purge of the fuel
Super helpful thanks for sharing this
Believe me I tried. I bought a $85 metal blade.. The carbide metal blades need under a 2000 rpm.. This Porter and cable is 3800. I t will burn out a diablo type of blade with in 3 cuts.. I did it.
Hahaha the victory in your voice when it starts just made me grin. I know that endorphin rush! About to do a full aba swap in my 91 Carat Jetta, looking forward to that part.

4 years later and although your car wasn’t fixed,this video helped fix mine! Thank you so much 👍🏻
Glad to hear it! I don't remember what the problem ended up being but it runs great now!
Where did you get your external fuel pump
Sorry but I lost it when exhaust is still connected😂😂. It’s easily to forget when there is so much going on
Check your belts for that squealing noise
Thank you for posting this
This video was probably one of the best I’ve seen for removing floor pans. You used regular tools and did it by yourself
Hey broo....you didn't set timing correct,That's why the car can't start. Fix timing you will be ohk
I'm still having trouble with this machine on a/c.... Thoughts?
The AC balance is reverse on this machine what it is on some other models. If you have it set around 65% try 35% or vice versa. I can’t remember which way it is, I don’t do too much AC myself but I remember having been tripped up on that myself
Cool vid, think I need to do this on my Gtd! Think that’s wheeling could be the power steering belt, check the tensioner (I think). If the engine is hunting it could be the Idle Control valve
Anyone know where I can find the part that holds the gas pump?
That’s what I’m looking for as well
@@fabiobmv Any chance you did?
@@alexperry06 @fabiobmv Which part do you mean? The silver little thing? I replaced that with a hose that fit the inside diameter of the housing.
Give you credit for doing it. Do you have to take a the struts off on a super beetle?
Thanks, still working on it years later but progress is progress. You will have to disconnect the struts on a super to remove the body
And it came with the cut off wheel!
How do you know which pump to replace? In-tank or external?
This not drifting... this is how to kill your engine 101. Lol
did you have any wiring to do ?
genius timing tool
Never use motor oil for rubber fitting etc just use silicone paste
Yo!? Where did this project ever go, no more videos???
It's actually come a long way. Still a ton more to do. I work 7 days a week so I've put all my extra time into the car itself and stopped videos for a while. I've been toying with the idea of making more content though. Comments like this make encourage me to do it, thanks!
Thank you great video now I can do it my self.
I'm about to turn my large (dual sub) box into 2 separate chambers so that the two subs each have their own volume of air rather than having to sharing air in the entire Q-Bomb 2-12" box. I'll be inserting a plywood panel down middle of the vented port (or is it ported vent?). I heard sharing air space is worse than individual chambers.
Yeah this actually didn't work out very well, I got much better sound out of a single 15 in a larger ported box.
I have the qbomb also and am about to buy a new box or try and build one bc i have 2 skar sdr 12s in it..but i have 2 skar vfx or zfx the biggest 12 they make on the way and i dont think they will fit unless inverted but your comment is correct so im wondering if you did that to your qbomb and if it helped?i have the smaller dual 12 qbomb box vented "ported"
Nice vid got mine from tractor supply for $60(on clearance) Also get a way better blade Diablo. and mine has gone kinda funky on me before when you get the metal red got. because of the bad blade. its then cuts the red hot metal and absolutely gets out of control. point being get a batter blade
Thx man, saw your comment then went down to tsc and scored this saw for $47.99 (20% of $60)
Euro wise makes a plug and play harness for swaps with the stock Ecu
What motor is this?
1.8 8v
At no point were you drifting lol
Thanks 🙏 Helped me make a good decision
Nice job looks good thinking about doing this swap I know this is a stupid question but I need to know can I still use the same trans clutch and all that after the swap nothing I needed and changed there correct
same clutch will be fine, I didn't change mine
You're freaking morons
mine has been whining for 6 years.bought extra but never put on
Top stuff!
Great video! Learned something new. Thx
Firing order is 1-3-4-2. Make sure crank is at TDC before removing/installing, cam at TDC a.k.a. points to plug 1 at cap before trying to start.
Yeah he's firing order is way out
Does the motor have to be removed to take the body off? I have a ‘72 super beetle
I think it is possible to leave the motor in, but it is so simple to remove it beforehand that it's probably the better route.
