street-soldier: What's actually wrong with your engine, at this moment in time? Also, you don't state what engine size your Vento has. |

I guess the problem started when the fuel got used up, I poured some inside the thank from keg and it refused to start, called a rewire and said twas fuel pump, twas changed but the issue persit, I dunno the engine capacity but I think vento GL is 1.8, so the rewire then suggested I change to cabaurator...can u dig that? |

street-soldier: No, I don't agree. The fuel-injected engine trumps the carburetor one, in every way - power, efficiency, performance, ease of starting in every condition etc. There's no reason to downgrade. The problem is, you've taken your car to a roadie, who has no business wielding a screwdriver within 400 yards of a wheelbarrow. He has misdiagnosed the issue with your car, simply bent you over, and given you the rough end of a pineapple. The Vento / Golf III were NEVER fitted with carburetor engines. They are all fuel-injected, either single or multi-port FI. The inlet valves of injected engines are larger than the equivalent carburettor version. The camshaft profiles are also different. Fitting an intake manifold from a VW Golf II and matching carburettor will get the engine running, but it'll never be right. The cylinder head ports are not designed to be fed by a carb. It will give rise to all manner of issues, poor gas mileage, and hot-running. Fuel also cools the intake, a carb won't supply enough to do the job. Detonation will also occur - the compression ration of a fuel-injected engine is higher than that of the equivalent carb-fed one. Detonation over time will blow holes in your piston crowns. Look for a REAL technician, who isn't there to simply take your money, and send you away with a dead car. |

A million thanks to you, do u think the problem is basically the fuel line or other issues attached like the E.C.U could also be faulty cos after changing the fuel pump the problem stil persist |

street-soldier: I could hazard a guess, but I won't, as that could well send you chasing shadows. You don't say whay year your Vento is, but if it's '94 onwards, it'll be OBDII compliant. Up to '93 will be OBD compliant, with the 2 x 2 connectors. OBD is meant to make things easier, with regards to diagnostics. Why are you choosing the hard way, and using mechanics who's sole aim is to bleed you white? Once your "mechanic" starts hinting you "convert" your engine to an older one from a 1984 car, (downgrade) it's time to start looking for another tech, who's credentials come endorsed. They'll charge more money, but at least they're likely to know what they're doing, and not reduce your car to a pile of rubble. Good luck. |

street-soldier: That's the port. So get your car scanned. Cheaper than simply throwing money at it randomly. |
