Re: Scirocco Production Information

Tried this email address and got an email back saying that they only deal with enquiries post 1997?

Re: 8v to 16v swap

Slow progress seems to be the theme of this build.

Latest spur of energy into the project has been finishing up the carbs as well as buying the correct manifold.

Re: 8v to 16v swap

Thanking you Mr Brown! I plan on running twin Weber 40s/45s. Would this be okay with original fuelling system?

I wouldn’t mind running fuel injection but have no clue when it comes to electrical and I would need a stand alone management system as far as I know?

8v to 16v swap

Hi all,

So I have a 1.8 8v carb mk2 scirocco and am looking at a 2.0 16v ABF engine to replace it in the near future. Is this an easy enough swap? What parts will I need to change (not on the engine itself) in order to accomodate? Electrical? Fuel? Etc

Any help is more than appreciated as I am ...

Re: Show us your Mk2 - picture thread.......

Back on October 16th 2016 when I first bought my Scirocco. Since then it's has the rear beam removed (sandblasted and repainted), new suspension brakes all round, small bit of welding on the front, new brake lines, headlining and a recon on the wheels. Been a busy winter but cannot wait to get her ...
