ive timing set to 6deg btdc,co2 I set at 1.5%,got loan of fuel pressure gauge and set wur to 3.4 bar and system pressure is 5bar
I seem to have oil leaking from number 6 oil temp sensor at back of cylinder head.ive tried another sensor but its still leaking.i don't want to over tighten the sensor in case it snaps of in the head.is it common for these sensors to leak ?.I have checked rocker gasket and dizzy all seem good.
has it got the sealing washer under the sensor? worth a look at the face of the head it needs to seal against as well, might have been damaged in the past
usually they are fine even if you use 2nd hand parts, this is why I suspect its the face on the block thats damaged
check the sealing face on the head, and the threads to maker sure its not been cross threaded in the past
this one looks to be a better design than most cheap ones you will see: http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares...shop.product_pID_96889_lang_EN_country_GB.htm
That part number is now replaced with 037129717F which may help your search a bit. Its only recently been made NLA from VW but plenty of aftermarket suppliers will stock it as its the same for all the VAG group 1.8-2.0 16v engines
I am thinking of running my mk1 on abf injection rather than the old k jet engine is abf block with kr head and scirocco 16v inlet&injection is it easy to wire in abf loom
