Re: Mk2 scirocco 1990 1.8 8v, drive belt for water pump, alternator etc

Belt snapped on me don't think it's been changed for a while. Got the old one off, it's 9.5 x 950... On eurocarparts the closest size I can find is 10 x 9.50!!!! Not sure it will fit or if I can go over 0.5mm in size. Any ideas??? I'm sort of in a rush to get the part as my cars on the side of the r...

Mk2 scirocco 1990 1.8 8v, REAR Brake Lights sticking & speedometer lighting

Just a couple quick questions. Been overhauling my scirocco mk2, everything is now working awesome expect the following. The rear brake lights tends to stick on now an then and is especially annoying while driving as I'm kicking back the brake pedal as that's my best hope of getting it off. Sometime...

Re: fiting a weber ( a rough guide )

Thanks for reply, I have now fitted choke cable for weber, it closes the butterfly flap so I presume that is all good. Mounted air filter back on too and rerouted electrical cables from my last try. Four cables from left hand side of carb, two with large rubber over ends are ignored (not in use), re...

Re: fiting a weber ( a rough guide )

Fitted weber, kinda rushed job in honesty. Now I'm a little concerned, I fitted heating element to carb base plate but I'm unsure where to plug the heating element in now. As I know two or three leads from left hand side will be redundant, there is one lead off back of manifold and There is also a r...

Re: Mk2 scirocco 1990 1.8 8v, tie rods

Steering all stock, I recently changed suspension all round to coil overs (brand new) so they are not stock. All wishbones and associated parts are new but replaced to original spec bar the tie rods replacement anyway. Perhaps I will go with the one for now and see how I get on. 🤔

Re: Mk2 scirocco 1990 1.8 8v, tie rods

Cheers, yeah the nut is rounded off on the adjustable tie rod, one wheel left in out 6% and righthand it around 40%... Hence why I need to replace. So you think just go for the right hand side renewel and that should get them about right.?
