Engine & Gearbox / Re: idling issues 2e3 carb
Last post by Keekster64 -
I had a look, but I couldn't find one either.  Febi make the larger 1600 one and the smaller polo one, but I dont see the correct one for yours, so you may have to go with the Topran one.  I would avoid using e10 fuel with it though.  I dont know about you but I always use e5 petrol anyway.  If your rubber mount is okay ie not split, I wouldn't change it, until it needs done.  The original ones are high quality.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Good garage guide...
Last post by Bbvw -
Please tell me there is a recommendation for a Garage in Edinburgh?!
Just driven 300+ miles in the MK2 (as the modern car had a cracked alloy) and about halfway here the rear left bearing started grumbling. By the time we arrived it was at full shout.. :o

Need to find a garage before Thursday to either replace the bearing or do something to make sure it doesn't seize on the way home

Any and all suggestions welcome

Engine & Gearbox / Old school performance upgrades advice
Last post by Keekster64 -
Hi. I’ve decided to do some old school mods to me 1600 driver (1991). I wanting to go the sleeper route. From some research it looks like the gti 8v cam drops in. I also have a Weber already. My questions relate to the exhaust side. It looks like you can fit the gti 8v manifold. I’ve found one that have a 6 stud fitting, which looks like it will flow much better than the stock c clamp type. What gti years had the 6 stud type? I’ll need to get the correct down pipe to suit. I think I’m right in saying the rest of the exhaust can be the GL 1.8l exhaust, which will allow me to keep the stock tail pipe. The car also has the late calipers vw2, so I think I can also fit the 8v gti vented discs and pads too, but it would helpful if someone could confirm. Thanks.

Engine & Gearbox / Carb Rubber Seating Indentification
Last post by Martin109 -
My 1.6 H-reg Driver has a split rubber seating on the Weber 34/32 carb, and I'm trying to find the correct one as a replacement.

VIN: WVWZZZ1GZLW679413
Engine Number EZ861785

Looking on eBay, I found this, but I can't relate the data supplied there with my VIN and/or engine number.

On p6 of the pages of data visible by scrolling down their webpage, I see:
VW   Golf   1991   Petrol Hatch   1.6   FWD Mk II 19E,1G1   1595cc 55KW 75HP ABN;EZ

Does that mean the item is right for my vehicle?  When they state in the title "Fits VW 027129761A 050129761E", what does that mean?
