Hello, yes they are still available! Price a couple of pounds more now with inflation but they’re £17.70 including postage on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324470379776?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wfgpYcjgRnC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wfgpYcjgRnC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I had the issue of heavy braking resulting in stalling when I first test drove my Mk2 about 9 years ago. I’m not 100% sure this was the culprit, but the fuel lift pump (the low pressure one in the tank) needed replacing. Perhaps the longitudinal forces are resulting in fuel starvation? You can get t ...

Thanks a lot guys, good to hear there’s nothing wrong. I think this area didn’t use to be sealed that well which is maybe why I didn’t use to find a puddle. Reinforcement flange would make sense. Thinking about it, you probably wouldn’t want a drainage hole from under the scuttle tray into the engine ...

There is often about 5mm (deepest area) of water pooled under the plastic scuttle/rain tray on my Mk2 Scirocco. It's mostly concentrated in the centre around the heater blower motor. The outboard drainage holes are clear of debris so water should flow freely. However, even once the water drains ...

Thanks so much for your feedback and comments! It’s a good point about a full width one. I’ll experiment with that this weekend and post the result!

Tom, I’ll be in touch

Evening all, I tried to get a bit artsy with some plywood and a laser and have drawn and etched an impression of the grille/headlights of my MK2 scirocco for hanging up in the house/shed/garage. To me, this is the best looking part of the car. I'm quite happy with how it turned out and wanted to ...

Thanks both! As promised, an update on how they’re holding up. This is right after washing them with regular car shampoo and a sponge, then applying some more wax once they were dry. Though I would note the car hasn’t done a huge number of miles since the refurb. https://i.ibb.co/HNYJ9yW/162392-FD-F3 ...

This post was really helpful and gave me the confidence and ideas to try something slightly more basic myself. I've posted my results here

The Avus Snowflake wheels on my '92 Mk2 Scirocco were looking rather tatty so I'd enquired about getting them re-diamond cut. Before I bought the car, they'd just been re-cut. As a result the shops weren't confident there would be enough meat on them for another pass, and they didn't seem to think ...

I've made some more of these, if you buy them straight from me they're £15 posted to the UK. Otherwise, you can buy them on eBay too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323341652794
Let me know if you're interested!

The filter from gsf you linked visually looks like the one in the engine bay. The flow on my '92 Scala is: Fuel lift pump (in tank) Fuel filter Fuel pump (external) Accumulator Fuel filter (engine bay) K-jet head unit This will help http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell ...

You don't need to remove or disconnect the fuel pump to remove the fuel filter in the engine bay. Normally to reduce the fuel pressure in the system, you'd remove fuel pump fuse then run her until she stops. In your case, maybe just turn her over for 15 secs maybe? Then you're good to undo braided ...

Thanks Joost, could be I guess. Looks like it could be from the area in the top right of this picture: http://assets.suredone.com/1517/media-photos/cp011145-lower-timing-belt-cover-guard-17l-engine-81-84-vw-rabbit-jetta-scirocco-mk1-2.jpg I assumed it was just the external faces that did the sealing ...

Finished changing the timing belt and intermediate shaft oil seal yesterday and found this lying on the ground during the job: 9mm ID / 14mm OD metal bush surrounded by plastic with 4 snapped black tabs coming off of it http://gdurl.com/cl5G http://gdurl.com/ZaHk Looks sort of like on of the bushes ...

Fantastic, thanks for that! Popped them in the post box this evening.
