Evening all, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself and my lovely 1989 Mk2 1.8GL. It had one owner until 2022 and covered a mere 35k miles. I have recently acquired it and its still on 47k miles with a history including all MOT's & invoices, every tax disc et - you get the picture. Beautiful unrestored/welded/painted condition.
I had a number of these back in the day and having come from a background of very dull British offerings these were a revelation! And re-acquainting myself so many years later they are every bit as viable today - I love it!

Mk2 Golf Chat / Catch can

Last post by Marlbro - February 07, 2026, 03:40:29 PM

Hi all.
Now I’m finally putting some miles on my golf (1.8 8v running a Weber carb and k&n top filter) I’ve noticed the cab smelling very smoky when driving, this is presumably because the blow by from the crank is vented to atmosphere because of the k&n filter. So I’ve decided to run a catch can.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a specific (not extortionate lol) or just go for a universal can hidden down on the firewall
