Will Our Barn Find GTI Drive Again?

Рет қаралды 628,689

Жыл бұрын

Last week we pulled an abandoned Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTI barn find out of the place it was left in for 20 years. We tried to get it going but found that the engine was completely destroyed.
This episode we're going to do an engine swap for another original GTI engine, see if we can get it running and then take it on its first very brief maiden voyage. Will Jack, Ethan and Edwin manage to get the unloved GTI going?

I completely agree, I love the 8v engine in the Mk1 and this Mk2, if I owned any of them I would love to throw a turbo build on a 8v and make decent power for the car, like 200hp, it's easy power I would say and reliable power for the car, no reason to make it overpowered.

Make sure you are getting the low tension signal from the coil to relay. The relay will only prime the pump/accumulator when you turn the ignition on, but the relay needs that low tension signal from the coil so it knows that the engine is turning over. Its a safety/crash feature on the K-Jet.
