Nice work. I love that you pay attention to the details and keeping it clean and looking more period correct. I learned to drive stick in a red MK1 Jetta at 13 years old. This car brings back good memories for me. Thanks again for the early watercooled content. I love all the MK2, MK3, Mk1 and E30 content you put out.
Where is a video of a test drive? 😕 And it also needs OCC ASAP. Great work as usual, and those grey brakelines are like a finger in my eye... Are you happy with the rear brake resistors?
Thank you, yes I'll put up a short driving video next Sunday, from the driving I've done in it, it seems totally normal, which is a good thing compared to how it was.
Hello ,i am preparing an 8V 2.0 engine CIS system CR about 10:1 aprox ,i was wondering if use a knock box like the one you used ,do you have a wiring diagram/ and or manual ? I don’t really understand how the knock box can control the timing ,does the knock box worked with that carbs ? Nice car ,nice job.
Hi there, yes I can't see why you couldn't use this ECU on a 8V k-jet motor, will not work on a KE-jet motor. It really is as easy as I've shown in the video, Green Wire to coil, black & black/white wires also to coil, long brown to earth on battery, other brown wire earth to the engine block, 3 pin plug to the distributor, blue/white wire(I think?) is a coolant temp sensor and then a vacuum pipe to the inlet manifold. It's not a knock box, at has a 8x8 or 6x6 I can't remember spark table, rpm vs load. Rpm taken from the 4 window hall sensor in the distributor and load taken from the inlet manifold pressure. The coolant temp wire will be to advance spark when the engine and cold and when engine goes over 100Cº it would retard spark.
@@RestoDesignsnando the one I have has a knock sensor wire (Green wire) that It Is connected to the BLOCK knock sensor ,I am not sure if It Is the same ECU.
sorry i'm still learning, so you got an ECU just for ignition timing? did you only keep the wiring for the ignition system and deleted every other wire, or does that ECU only job is ignition and theres nothing else?
Yes, he is using the ignition side of a ECU from a mechanical fuel injected model. The mechanical FI was pretty basic and only had a few other components to use. Eliminating the old points type distributor makes this easier to service and repair now and in the future.
Yes it is like davidpaker has stated, the Golf mk2 16V has a basic ignition only ECU, using a map sensor, 4 window hall sensor for rpm and a coolant temp, it's a good reliable system.

Thank you mate, 👍🏼
Great work and really nice project car 👍💪
Thank you, yes this is a really nice car.

I can see u have loads of experience on them rear beam bushes😅
Thank you mate, yes I really dislike doing mk2.mk3 rear beam bushes. hahaha
thats the very early dash isnt it, got to be very rare now especially in a jetta?
This is the later type dash, I think the car is a 1980/1981 model. The early dash I think is 78. But still yes a two door Jetta coupe is a rare beast.

@@rdperformance8697 no it seems you have KE-jet, does your car have a cat?
@@RestoDesignsnando my car Is a 1.8 JH (LIKE DX in europe)GTI MK1 from USA same CIS system from the european GTI Mk1
