Time to bring this thread up to date. Golf 3 none turbo "reserve" pump. And heres the comparison with the pump rebuilt by Mr Cheeseman. With a nice new belt kit to go with it. Followed Reg's set up guide Its set up on the timing marks but with no preload . May have to increase the idle speed, turned up the fuel to get it going, haven't turned back down and idle is just fast enough. On road test I didn't thrash it but it pulls well and seems to want to rev.Will have to measure boost, turn that and the fuel up a bit more.. Intercooler in the bumper could be the next step. I'll have to get one of those 17 second stop watch stickers next.

Started at 12.30 after ferrying stuff from the local garden centre, its been bought out and had a 75 percent off sale. I may have to annex next door to fit in all the sheds she's got. Got back from the road test at 7 so about 7 hours, didn't rush but great to get the proper pump back on.

Follow the guide, set the fuel for a bit of smoke when blipped hard, then get the idle set on the rod, then bring the min thottle stop up just to where it starts to affect the idle and then back it off a turn.
Then reset the clip on the throttle cable to take out excessive slack if required.
Check the boost.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the update.
When are you gonna paint the scuttle and get it out of primer?

Seems i'm creating as many problems as I solve at the moment. When I went little further on test in it today it ground to a halt.Turned over but wouldn't go, noticed no glow plug light . All looked ok under the bonnet. Got the test lamp out and no power to the stop valve ran a wire to the battery to get us home.Noticed we had no speedo and the fuel gauge was up and down like a strumpets draws. Anyway found fuse 15 flown. Replaced that and we have power to the pump, speedo and fuel gauge as normal. Drove it to the workshop to get my Autodata electrical component location book as I haven't a fuseboard listing but the fecker don't cover vans. Blast. Still have no glow plug light but everything else seems fine. When doing the water housing on the head I thought the wiring where it comes out of the plastic conduit looked a bit oily so when it stops raining will pull the rad forward and see what I can find.. Not having a drivers hand book does anyone have a fuse box listing?

So, I think the lack of glow plug light was a redherring . Have noticed before that it don't come on when warm, is it ours or have other ABLers noticed this? Anyway I've found a lot of the wires under the bonnet succumbing to 20 odd years of exposure to oil and the elements and a lot of the insulation is perished. Disconnected and got the loom up on the slam panel, conduit removed I went through it and soldered in new wire where the insulation was knackered. Just need a trip to the breakers to get a 4 pin and 2 pin plug with good wire on to replace the plugs on the stat housing. Hope to harvest the mark 3 the reserve pump came from.Might not hurt to get as many plugs as I can while i'm at it. Thanks Hans for the call this morning, helped a lot mate. See you soon.
