Re: Crisis may be looming?
Hopefully just a split in the rubber. When I had a leak in that area it was the bend in the front/ rear metal coolant pipe where it goes up into the engine bay.

Re: Idle problem now!
If it picks up revs instead of dying you have a leak at the inlet manifold and it will need the gasket replacing. Not a bad job to do.
This was what was causing my stalling on idle at junctions/ roundabouts.
It’s just one thing to rule out and takes a few minutes to check.

Re: Idle problem now!
Did you check for vacuum leaks as suggested?
James had a rebuilt video too.

Re: Idle problem now!
Check the inlet manifold. While it is idling ( carefully)get someone to spray some carb’ cleaner around it and see if the revs pick up.

Once you sort out the niggles it’ll be fine. It’ll be something simple I’m sure.

Re: 1.9 DG bogging down under demand peirburg2e3
When I’ve had bogging down before I adjusted the little cam that delivers the fuel to the carb’ and at the same time I looked at the accelerator pump diaphragm and it had a very small perforation so I replaced that and all was good. Easy to do both with a screwdriver. I also changed my ignition amp ...

Re: 1.9 DG bogging down under demand peirburg2e3
Have you tested the coil with a multimeter?
So it runs ok for a bit then starts to run rough when it’s up to temperature or when the choke comes off?

The clutch slave boots tend to deteriorate fairly quickly too.

Re: Not all cylinders firing during cold start, now hissing sound from brake servo
Well you’re getting there.
Does it feel harder to brake? Sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere or as you say the servo may be on its way out.

Re: Not all cylinders firing during cold start
Have you flooded it? I would clean the plugs/ check for fouling/ spark and check fuel delivery. Check the choke/ pull down and if all vacuum pipes are good. If all good maybe a drop of fuel down the carb’ and see if it fires. You haven’t knocked a wire off the coil or summat when you replaced the ho...

Re: Dead in the water... all help appreciated!
I had the rev limited one and it burnt out so replaced it with another but it left me stranded in the middle of nowhere a fortnight later. I carry a spare bog standard one and that got me going again. It’s always good to try the simple things before diving in head first even if it’s a recently purch...

I bought one recently from Gower and Lee. It is one for a Golf that has an extra port. A blanking cap is provided which I glued on.

Re: Dead in the water... all help appreciated!
Just to recap. You have now fuel being delivered but it won’t fire even with a bit down the carb’?
Have you tested for a spark ?

Re: Carburettor Problems
As mentioned try the simple things first. When mine stalled at junctions it was the inlet maniflod. Start it up, get someone to get round the back with a can of carb cleaner. Let your foot off the accelerator and as the engine dies/ falters get them to carefully spray a small blast around the inlet ...
