My friend this is the best tutorial for the 1.6/1.8 golf mk1/2 carb engine that I have ever seen, well done I salute you.
Thanks., and a pleasure!👍 Whereabouts your from, if I may ask.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy I am from the UK, I have a Scirocco MK2 1.8 carb from 1988, here in the UK all carburetted golfs and Scirocco's came with the pierburg 2e2 carb. They are quite complex to tune, but very good if done properly.
I have subscribed to your channel and have found your videos very educational and informative. Thank you so much
Easiest tutorial, it helps alot. Thank you!!
Very informative, thank you for taking the time to share your experience & knowledge. I'm most probably buying a Golf mk1 1800 1989 tomorrow & I'm completely clued up & prepared to change the cam belt🥳.
You have a caarburettor, I have a 1.4 injector. It's slightly different, there are no marks on my crank or plastic cover. However it worked just fine with the cam mark, Distributor Rotor and Fly wheel.... please make more of these videos though
Thank you I really wanted to find a video like this . I feel braver taking on this project .
My pleasure ..Glad to have helped
Wonderful. Love how you took your time to explain step by step procedure on how to align the timing gears and the that of the distributor. I helped me a lot but I have a little challenge. After replacing my car's timing belt and tensioner roller, I started up and heard a rubbing sound. I checked if the timing belt was rubbing against the timing cover but it wasn't. The timing belt tension was alright. Then I listened closely from under the car and it seem the rubbing sound was coming from the crankshaft sprocket area supposedly though not rubbing, please how do I get rid of the rubbing sound? Could the sound be coming from the oil pump? Thanks as I look forward to hearing from you👍
Thank you so much brother, I really find your videos helpful, I own mk1 as well n I had to lean most of its challenges through your videos, and internet, ✊
Pleasure sir ..
Hey PJ, managed to sort out my cambelt perfectly thanks to your video! Curios as to though these mk1 golfs are non-interference engines or interference?0
Nice video 👍 you should check the tensioner bearing i always replace the belt and tensioner together, inspection is after 45000km and replacement is at 90000km
@@michaelkroukamp221 Thanks buddy..
That's why I said you should start a TH-cam channel..fill in all the gaps where I missed ...
I'm not a specialist mechanic like you ..just an ordinary lay person who owned many vws over the years , and simply just trying to help other Mk1 owners ,based on the personal experiences with my vws.My videos are in no ways perfect ,and does not contain all the technical details..
Thanks I I like your videos
Thanks for the simple knowledge
My pleasure
Love your videos. Keep them coming...helps so much.
Love watching your videos man! Great fun!!
Thanks,..What part of the world are you from?
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy I’m from Sweden. I’ve got a golf myself
@@sune1448 that's great to hear! .Glad my videos is of some help to you ..keep well..look after you r Golf..
Thank you for the helpful video. I did it all by myself today and I'm proud. But it took me 8 hours instead of 2. The previous mechanic stripped some of my allen key bolts on the pulleys, it was a nightmare to get out. Resorted to welding the Allen key on and removing. Bought new bolts. It is strange when I removed the belt, the fly wheel went out a little, at least my cam marks were still in place. I only needed to replace my pulley as the mechanic never done this and it was making a noise
Great going !
Yes a Cambelt job for the first time can be daunting because all you thinking is not to mess up the timing 😊but there's nothing wrong in taking 8 hours ., because you were being thorough..and u had the issue with the stripped Allen key bolts ,but at least all that is now sorted and you got everything back together again...It's such a rewarding feeling when you get that job done and the engine starts and runs nicely..
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy it will be a breeze in the future now thank you. But the noise never came from my tensioner. When it started up for the first time I left all my covers off just to make sure there were no issues, only to realize after this entire tensioner replacement, it's my water pump what bearings, as i removed the fan belt and started her again without auxiliaries. Turned the water pump pulley by hand and saw the noise is originating from there. Timing is on point though thanks to you, she never sounded better. Tomorrow I'm replacing the water pump.... again.... at least I learnt something new, you deserve more subscribers
very detailed thanks bro keep it up...subbed
good stuff mate. you’re the boss
Thanks 😎
Great video! Not sure if you are still there but does the tensioner require to be torqued - you say just 'tighten' with just a spanner? Thanks
Thanks Oom, wanted to attempt this haha but now im anxious thers so much to get right.
Rather take to someone experienced.if u feel unsure..,but watch and learn as they do it..
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thanks PJ, love yoyr ypur channel so much
Hi pj hope you are well, need some of your advice
How do you remove the tensioner stud to replace new tensioner, I do not want to break the stud very taught what's the best way to remove the stud
Thanks Bro, you make it look so easy!
Hi there PJ I have set everything the way you described in the video, all the marks and rotor line up, but I still get a backfire through the carb when trying to start. The engine wants to turn but just won't. Any ideas.
Thank you show more videos
Where can I get the 6mm Allen key nut? It's tough to get from scrapyards and places like Goldwagen😢
Good day. If all the marks are lined up except the flywheel mark.. I bought the golf recently and decided to service the car only to found out the flywheel mark is not where it suppose to be. Please advise
Hi PJ, does the cam shaft pulley need to be torqued to a specific measurement, when refitting ?
Most of the time people just tighten it down securely,but there's def a set torque measurement .....,don't have that number for you right now..
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Thank you PJ
What to do if the vehicle lose power and cut when accelerating after I’ve changed the belt
Good vid, thanks.
Pleasure!
PJ - Where are you situated ?
I need my MK1 golf 1.4i timing to be put in, not sure if thats the only thing that needs to be done. Once you reply then I will let you know what I did already.
Thanks Boet
Good
Hi I'm in need of assistance to replace my golf velocity roof antenna
awesome
Thanks Joe :)
What if my balancer timing is on the aero mark but the front crank mark stands a little bit to the left
Hi pj I have problem with my golf. Mk1 struggling to tart
Why does my cam gear, distributor, crank pulley all line up but my flywheel isn't tdc?
I need to help my 1.4 if you put the fuse in the Nissan turns on

Hi thank you for the helpful videos ,helping me get my car back to what its supposed to be
Just done a cambelt change however there is humming sound coming from the belt is there any possible solution
Thank you sir
Sounds coming from cambelt could be due to over tightening.. Check that first. Or also check water pump.. It starts making noises when the bearing starts to fail
Hey PJ, thanks for the video. Quick question, would the rotor arm always be out of alignment when aligning the pulley with the crankshaft? Or would this not always be the case?
No it shouldn't..if you line up the intermediate shaft with the crank pulley.,then rotor should line up with the notch on the distributor.,but if it is not 100% in alignment then just adjust it by loosening the 13 mm bolt on the distributor and move the rotor onto it's notch at the distributor
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Thank you so much PJ! And for all your guidance!
Hi I need help please when I line the crank pulley up with mark on distributor pulley then distributor is not straight help please
Hi ..if all your timing marks are lined up .cam and crank ..and your distributor rotor does not line up with the mark on distributor then you need to loosen up the 13mm bolt and move distributor onto it's mark..If you don't do that then engine won't start.look at this video th-cam.com/video/jT4s9o42weo/w-d-xo.html
And also this one. vm.tiktok.com/ZMF3DX3WL/
Thank you for the videos. Very informative. And what is the Beats/Instrumental music playing in the background?
Hey it's a pleasure.You will find music details in the description section
Do you not like the background music?
Hi PJ my bottom crankshaft pulley wobbles how do I fix it?and I can’t find a new one
Would help me a lot 🙏🏼
When i must tight my tensner for the cam belt my flywheel moves off its mark what must i do so that that doesnt happen
I'm having the same issue...did you figure out how to stop it from rotating?
Hey meneer I have a problem with one of my allen key head bolts on my crank pulley it's spoilt 💔 bought the car like this,how do I remove the bolt?
Those Allen key bolts are not that tight ..you will have to get creative ..weld another nut onto it ...or make a slit into it and loosen with a flat screw driver ,or just put a bigger size Allen key into it.Those nuts are not very tight ..just hold the crank steady with your 17mm. Spanner or socket ..,and loosen the Allen key Bolt
I just discovered an easier and more controllable way to set the tensioner (without special tools).
Take a 3mm Allen key, insert short end in rear adjustment hole on tensioner, and lever across mounting bolt. Very controllable, and more than enough torque to tension properly. Also enough space left for spanner to tighten mounting nut.
Pj are the timing mark of a 2litre head vw the same as the 1.3 ,1.4,1.6 ,1.8 ?????
Nope it's not the same .The cam timing mark is at the top..like 12 o clock..
Good day sir. All my marks add up but the gearbox (flywheel) mark does not how do I get it right?
Hi ..ok how far out is the flywheel mark.....Is it way out ,or just a few millimetres?....
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy way out it seems. The vehicle starts and idles but its a irregular idle goes up and down then at times dies
@@arminvanrooi4559 you going to have to determine top centre on crank by checking with a screw driver or long object if No.1 piston is on top..That's the most secure way to get crank timing in....could be that flywheel was fitted on wrong
Hi where can I get the heater cable and the valve on the citi golf mk 1
Hi, have you tried GOldwagen yet?
Hi PJ I just need to change my cam sprocket seal, do I have to remove the whole cambelt ? Can u please give me a short description on how to do this job thank you
Hi .you only have to take the cambelt off the sprocket.no need to take it off all the pulleys. Just ensure you first put sprocket on timing mark...in line with tappet cover ..once sprocket is off replace the seal.when putting back everything ensure all timing marks are in line...your intermediate pulley may move a bit as you put back the belt ...but just ensure the rotor is facing the notch on the distributor..(firing on No.1)..handcrank the engine twice before start up to.....ensure tensioner is tightened correctly.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thank you so much I think I messed up earlier on by not setting timing first so everything got messed up badly however I set everything back up, I don't have the timing covers so I used my fly wheel marks to set it up I have a slight Ping though so I'm going to try regarding the timing and see from there but thanks million. was always afraid to set a cars timing but your tutorial over came that fear after many hours of struggling lol
Another thing how do I ensure the rotor faces the notch mine was off so I continued to turn it whilst it was on the car to get the engine running, must I remove the whole thing then line it up and fit it back?
You just loosen 13mm bolt on the distributor and move it in line with notch on distributor...but then to fine tune it you will have to set it with timing light....as you may get some pinging.
But when you do this make sure all timing marks are in ..
My cars timing is completely out can i use these steps to set it again
Yes if it's the valve and crank timing that's out..then u need to take off the belt and put it on it's timing marks..
If it's the ignition timing..you just need to use a timing light.
If by any chance your cambelt breaks, will your valves be damaged.
Well from experience with the Mk1 8 Valve Engine it doesn't really damage ..,but I have heard rare cases where it does..It depends on speed you were driving at the time ..but most just slip on a new belt and discover nothing damaged.Happened twice in my lifetime....,and no bent valves
I wanted to know. I was driving around 140 km/h and my timing belt snapped. I was in a new town so i had to get a mechanic from anywhere I am becoming very suspicious as everyday its a new issue. I stopped immediately after it snapped but then the mechanic says that as a result of the timing belt snapping it broke some of my valves of which i he said he needs to buy a new valve kit which also includes seals and gaskets to my suprise. me not being the mechanic i gave him the money to go buy. I only evr saw a new timing belt. He started it and apparently a water pump failure that occured as a result of the belt snapping caused there to be a milky substance on the fuel cap so he needed to buy anothe head gasket and water pump. The next new item was a new head gasket. after it was installed, he said since he just put on a silicone we should wait before we start up the car, next thing I hear when i came back later after he had started the car was apparently that the distributor rotor that was faulty and as a result the car was mis firing. and this car was running smoothly before and there was no problem either then a snapped timing belt. could all this be real
Hi ,not to go into much detail,but you definitely have been scammed..Get the car out of that mechanics hands ,
Very costly lesson learnt .
Hi PJ, great video, sorry im gonna go off the point, do you know who cab tune my mk2 golf carb for me, can you refer me to someone or a shop in cpt, my mk2 is very rich currently
Hi
Have you seen my video on carb tuning?..it is really quite simple..will send you the link now
th-cam.com/video/L4E1SqIsR0A/w-d-xo.html
Ja ive seen it but im scared i catch on nonsense but thanks
Thank you.. no need to use timing light?
Yes ,once the cam belt is on, I would advise you set the ignition timing,with a timing light.i know lots of Mk1 owners don't worry about timing light ,cause they set it by ear ,or play around with Dizzy... 🙂,As long as you don't get any engine pinging,.....,but I intend doing a seperate video on the ignition timing ..
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thanks will wait for that video, seem to confuse me a bit
@@uveshharrilall ..what is confusing ?
Like if all marks are lined up when doing cambelt, why is it necessary to still do ignition timing with light
@@uveshharrilall when lining up the timing marks.it doesn't mean that your Spark will fire at the right time.....,,That spark must happen 6 degrees before the piston hits top dead centre..,otherwise the ignition timing is what we term too "Advanced"...and you will experience engine pinging...and the opposite can occur if the spark happens too soon, which we term" retarded"then your engine will lack power and be sluggish...so the timing light will enable you to set the spark (ignition timing) to activate at the right moment,making your engine to run at its optimum ..,fuel efficient,and smooth.
