Guest SLRasta Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Hi guys. Having just bought a mk4 xr3 CVH Bosch K-Jetronic Cabriolet, here i am with my load of questions. Thanks in advance for the great forum 1. The tachometer is dead. I love having a tacho and would really like to make it work. I cant seem to find anywhere a description on where it is plugged and how it works. Any help. 2.This bit on the distributor was very loose - what is it? I mcguyvered it with some "pig tails" 3 Oily distributor. When i took a pek under the loose bit (see 3) I noticed that the thing was pretty oily on the inside. How bad is that?. What could it be a symptom of? 4 Disconnected connectors. Someone who had the cab before me went to grat trouble to disconnect and secure some connectors - there is a blue one and a brown one. Why did they do this? Where do theese connectors go? Oh yes - here's the beast: :) Edited March 30, 2010 by SLRasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The tacho.. This is fed by the live feed of the coil, have a look around and make sure all wires are complete and secure.. It may also be a loose connection in the dial set (does the needle move at all?)..remove the clock andcheck everything is plugged in The oil leek may be caused by the distributor O ring seal being perished. It leaks as oil is forced up into the rockers..easy enough fix just unbolt the distriubutor and refit a new seal The second brown plug looks to be a cold start valve plug. To the left On the inlet there should be 3 small breather pipes, just under them is the cold start valve switch..check to see that there is a connection on there and if not if that 1 reaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
