[Vwdiesel] mk2 water seperatorJohann Koenig explosive at hvc.rr.comSun Aug 7 21:29:00 EDT 2005
Well, headed to Mountain Creek today in New Jersey. Had a fantastic time parking. First, tried to park on a hill that was too steep (parking brake sticks, didn't want to set it, putting it in gear still cranked the engine over), went to back up, someone pulled in behind me. Waved them back, and they decided to ram me instead. Just hit the bumper, so no harm done. Smoked the clutch backing up, had a hell of a time finding another space, finally went to the edge of the lot and found some spots. However, there was a 6" water pipe (for making snow) across the lot. Drove over it where some other people had put a makeshift ramp, but the person who owned my car previously (1985 GTI converted to diesel) decided to lower it as well. Felt the pipe ravaging the undersides. Ripped the water seperator up. Fuel tank is from the gas car, so the outlet is on top, nothing lost but the fuel in the seperator. Went to the park, came back around 6 to fix it. Took the seperator off, cut one of the plastic inlet tubes off and used it to splice the fuel line, bypassing the seperator. Now, I have two requests. First, can anyone identify this water seperator (mk1, mk2, mk3?). Second, I know of a diesel mk2 in a nearby junkyard, but just in case that seperator is shot too, anyone have one they're willing to part with? I need the sensor too, mine's been buggered for a while. Car pictures at http://mental-graffiti.com/rikka/ 0003-0007 are the seperator, the rest are other pictures of the car. all.php is all of them in one convienient page.
