[sparky1]

GOT A MK4 WITH A 2.5 BANNANA ENGINE,RUNS LOVELY AND AND DOSENT EVEN NEED A FULL REVELUTION OF THE ENGINE TO START EVEN ON A WET COLD MORNING, BUT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN FROM TICK OVER ITS SO SLOW TO PICKUP ITS A LAUGH! ,FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT COULD BE THE THINGY ON TOP OF THE PUMP? (SOME FUNNY NAME)IT HAS SOME THING TO DO WITH ACSELERATION?,APARENTLY THERE IS A KIT TO SERVICE THIS BIT ??,WENT TO LOCAL DEISAL EXPERT HE WONTED £150+VAT TO DO IT ,AND WOULDNT TELL ME WERE TO GET THE BITS!,BUT HE DID SAY THAT WHEN TAKING IT APART THERES A BIT THAT FALLS IN SIDE THE PUMP IF YOUR NOT CARFULL?,IS THERE ANY INFO OUT THERE ON HOW TO SERVICE THIS PART OF THE PUMP? .STRIPED AND REBUILT ENGINES SO NOT TO BAD AT IT! ,BUT THE INJECTION PUMP IS A BIT OF A BLACK BOX! .

saves doing the job twice ! will it have to be reshimed? or will the old ones do the trick?
