Are these the right ones???

Hi all.

Ordered some bilstein shocks off eBay the other day, listed to fit scirocco up to 1992 (mines a 1991)

Arrived today and the fronts don't look right :/

Should they look like this and if so where can I get the bit to attach it to the hub and the big cup the spring sits in??

Cheers ...

Re: 'Lumpy' startup once warm

Just got round to getting it on the emissions tester and it was running at 0.246 % CO so it was really weak :/ Got the CO to 1.024% which is well within tolerance (1% +.5) and she seems to start up perfectly for now and also hasnt had the idling hissy fit i sometimes get once warm!

Fingers crossed ...

Which weber?

Hi all,

Since i got my GT2 a lot of people have said 'are you going to slap a weber on it?'

apparently they give more economy aswell as a bit better performance, But which weber would i need?

Its a 1991 GT2 1.8 8V

Cheers in advance :)
