Morning all. In the process of establishing why my Scala pulls like a wet lettuce, I've removed the filler neck, and it's not a pretty sight. It looks like it's been badly repainted in the past to cover up the rust and hide the poor condition. I'm going to get it vapour blasted to see the condition ...

Have replaced the vacuum on the dizzy with a new item and still having the same reluctant acceleration below 3000rpm.
Any other ideas where to look next?

Afternoon all, Heres another 'how do i?' question for you all! Can anyone explain how one goes about replacing the front end of a MK2? The car had a front impact in a previous life, meaning the bonnet no longer closes properly and it's all a bit of a mess so I'm thinking of tackling this next week w...

You sir, are a star. Thanks for the info!

Hi all, can't seem to find anything in Haynes on how best to do this, so wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of what's involved and the best way to do this.

Cheers!

I do have a video clip but not sure how to share it with you.

If you PM your mobile number I can WhatsApp you ?

Have just PM'd you now chap :)

Just checked and it's only moving literally a couple of mm when I suck on it, and nowhere near the full amount of movement it can do.

Does this sound like the potential culprit? If so, I just need to try and find another one now!

That's really useful, thanks Mark. The dizzy's vacuum advance is a great shout and I'll look into that later today. Having read up on it, it certainly matches the symptoms I've been having.

Also on the fuel side of things, I've filled her up with BP's finest super unleaded.

Oh, and also on my list is to look in the tank and check the filler neck!

Afternoon all, Looking for some advice on the rough running of my MK2 Scala, specifically at low revs. Over 3000rpm she runs much better (though still not perfect), but at low revs there's a distinct jerking, juddering and erratic acceleration where the car feels like it's struggling to evenly accel...

Damn, these must be mysterious if no-one can identify them! The search continues.

Hi all. Was looking through some of my old VW brochures and spotted these lovely centre caps. I'd love to know what they are, if anyone has any ideas? They'd be perfect for my Scala.

Hi guys,
Can anyone confirm the Bosch part number for the WUR in a DX Scala? I believe it should start with 0438 140 ***

Many thanks for any info!

"Sold for £ 225 inc. premium"

Where on earth did that estimate of £4,000 come from?!

I'm after getting my MK2 Scirocco looked at, and the current garage that has it haven't even opened the bonnet after it being there for nearly a month, so it's time to look elsewhere. Can anyone recommend any good places in the Gloucester area that have maintained or recommissioned a MK2 in the past...
