Despite at various different times throwing the toys out of the pram and not starting, mis-firing, running on 3/2 cylinders, she plucked up her act to goto the All Types Ball, despite a fuel leak on the day of All Types we made it there

The engine bay that used to be home to a 1.6 auto.

I couldn't get my 8v ones to line up with the 16v engine, I needed to run the 16v crank pulley, so I just welded the 16v PAS pulley to the 16v Water pump pulley so they both spin when the belt spins. It was proving very difficult to find a non PAS 16v pulley.

Ok I'm using a KR from a Mk2 Golf. I have used the 16v pulleys for the crank and water pump is this the normal thing?

Also what do people do with the airbox as the 16v one is massive and won't fit, looks to me as if a Mk2 GTI 8v one would do the trick?

So I need a conversion manifold or a custom jobbie then?

Will a 16v four branch manifold from a Mk2 Golf 16v fit onto a Mk2 Scirocco 16v? Both are KR engines, the Golf is being broken for parts and the 16v is nearly ready to go into the Rocco

I have the same problem, the only thing I have found is if I pull the choke at junctions it doesn't stall.

Any ideas anybody?

Turns out the n/s flexi was spilt, changed it (£5) brake fluid and the copper pipe, just need to get the blasted bleed screw from the caliper to bleed them proper and then she'll have brakes again! Also sporting new discs and pads while I was there
