Inlet manifold problem.

[Ashrocco]

Sorry for all the question lately, just trying to get my Scirocco moving again...

Anyway, I recently bought a new Weber for my Rocco, it came off a 1.8 8v Golf i have been told. But the manifold it came with doesn't have a water outlet like my current one. Any suggestion what to do? I dont really wanna buy a new manifold as that wold be costly.

My question is, Is it possible to block this off?

I will probably have to get some sort of adapter plate made up I guess, I could possible do this with or without the water outlet. Would be easier without though.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Ash, to block it off from the metal water pipe? You only need water going to the inlet of you are running a Pierburg so its OK to do. Just connect the hose that would have gone from the metal pipe to the inlet with something suitable in the middle of it like a head bolt - believe they are the correct size

The water comes out of the head though, Doesnt it? The 5th hole.



The manifold I wanna use has no 5th hole.

With you now, is the head off? Easier to get the head ally welded to be honest mate.
