im in the process of servicing the carb at the moment because it definately needed doing, i shall be changing the rubber mount anyway, but there was some wheezing coming from the carb when the engine was off, i dont know whether it should be doing this. But i shall check for leaks in the vacuum ...

Ok I have taken the carb off today and checked the rubber mount which is absolutely fine. Should there be a gasket between the mount and the manifold and the mount and the carb, cos there wasn't. Can anyone give any more suggestions please

hi my 86 gts 1.8 running with a weber 32/34 dmtl carb is stuttering/misfiring at low revs, it is doing it hot or cold and is practically undrivable until you get into higher revs and boot it. If i have the choke on it seems to help but is by no means perfect. if driving down the motorway it ...

oh that doesnt look good, i was speaking to my local MOT tester who told me that as long as the beam pattern was correct that was all they were worried about, but obviously he doesnt know about the law because it doesnt apply to what they have to do.

Maybe I will just upgrade the loom instead

Hi does anyone have any experience with retro fitting hids into mk2 roccos, im interested in doing this but i have been told that they work considerably better with projectors, are they actually a necessity, do they improve the light that much.
If they do and i need them does any one know how to go ...

Ok looked into this a bit more and still non the wiser could someone tell me where the earth wires from the interior light actually go to cos it cant be the doors, cos the wires are a different thickness to the ones coming from the door pins

Well its definately going to be a daily driver, my mechanical abilities arent as good as a proper mechanic but i am good with my hands and im pretty good at problem solving.

I was planning on using the K-Jet setup from the donor car and maybe going to a megasquirt at some stage.

My dad is a very ...

Hi im contemplating doing the 16v kr engine conversion into an 86 scirocco GTS so i have a couple of broad questions to ask

How difficult is this to do

What Parts specifically would i need

What complications may i encounter and finally

Is there a good detailed guide on here or anywhere else ...

I fitted the relay as per the instructions i posted in the buzzer post. That all works correctly. It didnt work prior to fitting either so im certain its nothing i have done all of the connections i have made have been done quite well and are very secure. It doesnt work on either door, initially i ...

Right i got a little problem, the other day i decided to finally wire in a lights on buzzer rela, which i have managed to do, but during the installation i noticed that my interior light doesnt come on when the doors are open regardless of what position the switch is in, it does come on when its in ...

Cheers im gonna get some new pins and try it that way

I think mine has gone beyond the point of just adding a washer, its wearing away the door strike pin, and has torn some of the door seal, is the hinge removable inside the door or is it welded in, if someone could tell me it would save me pulling my door card off and nosing around.

Hi my drivers side door has dropped, im wondering what my options are to fix this i dont particularly want to have to go down the route of a new door because it would be hard to source because my paint code is LB7V which i believe is quite rare. Can you just replace the hinge or the pin

From what Petegli has said sounds like its the white hose thats the problem, if thats not connected it would almost certainly cause the problems you are describing, any drop in pressure within the vacuum system will cause the engine to not run correctly if at all.

I have had a look on ETKA for you mate, doesnt look like VW stock them anymore :(
