is it the mk1 or mk2 golf gti that had the fuel pump with built in swirl pot thingy, and are they available new as a complete unit from places like GSF?

.......and did they use two pumps, an in tank one to feed the external one with the accumulator on it?

Ive just installed jenvey's and an omex in a mk1 and it was a single bosch type external pump.

have just been trawling the net and yep it seems its the mk2 cars with digifant injection.

New thread about to start!

Mk2 golf gti, step son just breaking one for parts. We had to buy a 2nd pump complete to get engine running. The pump alone is around £100. Only have 1 pump, some, like his, are external, some are internal.

As said, it depends on what the VW guys had on the shelf! I have the filter/tank/pump fitted to my plastic car. On the Golf they are gravity fed but on mine I have a Facet LP pump to fill the swirl.

All of the mk2 GTI's (8 and 16v) have an external pump built in to the swirl pot/accumulator thingy. The K-Jet cars also have an in-tank lift pump, the late digifant 8v GTI's don't have a lift pump, just the external.

Rumour has it the K-Jet pumps are much more manly. K-Jet runs at 5bar compared to 3 or so for digifant, and the K-Jet pumps have been used without issue on quite high powered 1.8T conversions
