Just as an aside if a K-Jetronic car seems to be suffering from fuel starvation be aware that at least in some of these there's tiny fuel filter on the main inlet. If this gets blocked then you're going no where fast. I was told by a Audi dealer in the UK that it was meant to be removed at the first service after delivery e.g. 1000 miles but they never are.. Mine lasted until 135000 miles until nearly coming to a halt on the UK M6. This particular car was a 2004 Audi Coupe 5E and after establishing it was a fuel issue it was pretty soon obvious as soon as I began to disassemble the system. I can't remember if I actually removed it just pushed the innards out with a screwdriver but problem solved and it ran for another 100000 miles before getting rear-ended and written off.

I'm so glad that electronic fuel injection superseded this system. It's far simpler and straightforward to deal with

I'm glad you got a good understanding of the system...now we have a clue as well. :)

Great video! I just recently got myself a Volvo 240 Turbo with K-jetronic fuel injection. I think it's a really interestning fuel injection system, even though there are many parts that can break down.

My 1978 5-cyl Audi 100 5E has sat for 26 years. I believe everything has to be taken apart and inspected. Even if the fuel quality in 1995 was better than now 😃

Not many people know this but the CIS system is the most profitable thing Bosch ever developed.

Nice little overview, Thank you, good job.

Buena explicación quisiéramos saber la instalación y desmontaje de los inyectores

:) Hello. Seee. A fuel distributor. Glad theiy are popular with Porsche ;)) Leeking hose or not it looks super clean as it is! Cheers, Simone

Very helpful 👍👍👍

K-Jet for life!

Great vídeo , i Think i may found why i have a high idle.

Hubnut is now NZ. Maybe he might come and visit you.

Hi, i am interested on the ford rs turbo one, they have an extra pressure valve and a 3 wire black, plug. Can I use normal k tronic one non turbo on a turbo set up?

My system pressure is good but when I turn the valve on it drops for a second then climbs right to system pressure cold with electric connector to warm up regulator un plugged tks for any help . I think I will have to repair war but want to be sure

hydraulic hose works well for high pressure systems take the the ends and they can make them up for you

Thanks for the informative video, is it possible to replace a k-jetronic directly with the ke-jetronic fd system if you k-jet is faulty?

my Audi b3 coupe broke down today new fuel pump and filter fitted but still broke down revs cut to idle !! as if fuel pump not working but it is !!

Awesome video. From what i know it uses fuel pump pressure to inject fuel right? I wonder how much it can distribute with oem and aftermarket pump. Keep it up.

Great video. Got mk2 jetta cli 16 valve kjetronic myself. My car didnt want to idle. However if i manualy work the sensor plate and override start relay the injectors spray. I check for fire and firing order. All good. Fuel supply at the onjectors all good. No fuel coming from injector lines. When does fuel come from injector lines if all are good on the system?

How do you adjust the height of the plate? I took away the plate but could not figure it out (KE-Jetronic Audi 100 2.0 E 1990)

My car doesn’t want to start when warm unless the CTS is unplugged. Audi Coupe 2.0 ACE engine 16v. Any thoughts? Have changed fuel accumulator, injectors and plugs

Do you know anything about the Volvo k-jet set up..? It's mechanical fuel injection but located under the intake manifold. It's an 82 Volvo 242 2.1 with a cold start issue 🤷

hi mate its a simple thing really compared to todays cars

My Volvo 740 1987 with K-jetronic didn't start. This will help me to find out the reason ...

Cheers. Out of interest have you ever played with the Lucas mk 2 fuel injection system?

Love your video, very helpful, but can you comment on a 1976 911 with such system, is the a car worth considering ? Thanks

what are the signs that the fuel distributor needs a rebuild? i have a w201 and I don't want to mess with it if I can help it :)

Is there a tool to put them back in Or u just gotta push really hard?

Where did you get those braided distributor hoses? The ones on my e21 leak fuel and the parts are no longer available. Currently stuck with no viable solution :(

Great video especially on the hoses. What makes the vacuum to lift the metering plate? Is it the compression stroke by way off the crank?

Where canI got the kit?

Thanks You guive me a good clue. I bought a Audi 80 and have the same system, I have a hight idle and even temperature reaise, the idle is ate 2000Rpm, any clue or tips?. Many thanks for the vídeo.

Has anyone ever tried say putting a benz fuel distributor same year and cylinders on a rolls royce?

👍👍 scary! 😬😊

50 bucks each ? that's pretty cool tho a manual mass air flow I don't think I 've seen one before. well not out like that one.

Does it need to be timed to the engine firing order?

Hi Badger. I have a Volvo 740 K jet. Fuel only coming from 1 & 2 injector. 3 & 4 injectors are not blocked. Car was stood for 5 years. I assume if the diaphragm was knackered, it would affect all 4 injectors? I have had it running but the wiring for the fuel pump had been bodged and was only getting 9.6v with in tank pump not working at all. New tank pump and fixed wiring to main pump and I'm thinking I've pushed some muck into the fuel distributor. Any suggestions? I'd rather not crack open the distributor if there's a way of cleaning without. Sorry this is so long.

If all injectors are firing at the same time isnt that uneconomical? What about bore wear from the fuel washing the bores continously?

Is it possible to adjust the amount of fuel per cylinder?

High fuel consumption was problematic

Eugh, I do NOT miss seeing those. Not one bit! Nope nope nope~ If you do rebuild your distributor, keep watch for the...compensation port? Forget what it's actually called, but there's a tiny, easy-to-miss pinhole in the diaphragm that lines up with pinholes in each half of the distributor. As I recall (at least with the six-banger), the diaphragm will seem to fit right side up or upside down, except that pinhole is offset... It also loves to get clogged, and hates to get cleaned! Be cautious if you're using shellac or some other adhesive on the diaphragm, as it will find that pinhole and plug it right up. Wish I hadn't sold off that Crate'O'Parts(tm) when I moved from California! I had over a hundred Jetronic injectors I'd acquired from junkyards and ebay for $3-$5 each, all back-flushed and ready to go!

What controls the fuel distribution? Just the air flow meter? Can it run independently without the ecu?

Are you sure you weren't a euro tech in a former life? =)

I've seen the K Jetronic on Volvo 760 GLE's with the PRV V6 engine.It looks complicated.

On fist gear while accelerating u can feel a slight pause and go pause and go not to noticeable but I can feel it not picking direct speed what could it be??????

Clear as mud mate. Now, could you repeat all that in English please !!

Its all Japanese to me or German 😂😂

КЕ !
