Last post by Iain -
Hi all, my name is Iain and I'm putting my 1987 GTi back on the road after over 20 years off the road. She's been garaged so in general good condition. Looking for advice, etc and hopefully be able to contribute to your forum.

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
