Purchasing Correct Tachometric Relay

[birdie205 0]

1.9 gti 1989 wont start all pointing to tachometric relay, no power at pump , coil etc but pump runs when relay bridged,

current relay is a cartier 02474, GSF have supplied me with a 7 pin Hella version (4RP 008 189-111) , all the pins are the same except one which is labelled TD, the same pin on the cartier is labelled 1, have read on intenet that TD is rev limited version, could someone verify if this is true please, as the car is a road rally car and I would not wish to buy the wrong one, as GSF are being funny about returns.

 

 

Thanks

The relay has nothing to do with power at the ignition coil, that is an ignition switched 12v supply, without this it wont produce spark which in turn wont trigger the fuel pump relay.

 

Its pretty standard for returns on used electrical items to be refused.

To revise an old thread !

 

I just bought a genuine Pug unit Damir and was sold Valeo.

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

what are the prices of these new?

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Yeah, Bosch was original, but a lot of later stock was Valeo.

 

Bear in mind who made the injection system in the first place

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

what are the prices of these new?

£120, i didn't pay that none the less.

 

Back ordered as well.

 

Car parts for less do a Hella one for £33

I got five last year from stock. Came to a fiver

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Citreon dealers saved my bacon for a genuine item "Duthies of Montrose"

 

ORB am surprised you found them in old stock, every time i ring for stuff the parts chap says he can't find them and writes them off.

Sorted then?

[Ramigojag 19 1 Cars]

Yup brilliant thanks

It's not what you know!

Explain.

...its who

There is never any obligation to sell anything. Most stuff is easier to keep in stock. We only last week bought another GTI to restore to perfect. Why flog bits for a pittance when we will need them sooner or later anyway.

We never got to a price and it was 405 stuff.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

405, 205, 309 etc etc

 

Most dealers throw stuff away, write it off as dead. We don't. It's all useful stock.

Fair enough, you guys will stay on my " blacklist" of not for sale parts.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Cool.

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Cool.

 

Your not the only one Christophe Vanderdreich won't sell the old parts for the same reason.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

It's not that we don't sell old parts, its just if we want them, we won't give them away. And the lads won't go watching through crates for a dead stock .99p washer when it's doing no harm sat in a container.

 

Always worth a ring though, I know a local lad got a full set of beam bearings, seals and bolts for a tenner on Saturday.

Whats Penrith like ORB?

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Robins day recently bought all of our wiper/lights/indicator stalks, the whole lot. Any model, any age. Weird.

 

Penrith = Massive

 

It's our biggest site. About 12 acres

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

Which branch of Robins and Day?

 

They are showing a part i would like.
