Scirocco Register

Sadly, no. There used to be an old boy in Bradford who would do them for 60 quid fixed fee, but he packed up a few years ago.

in fairness i dont know any carb specialists, i must admit i dont know where to start with them,

That's the plus side of the weber. Its very easy to get them running somewhere near, and not that hard to get them spot on

but they arn't especially cheap, iv been looking out for one for a while going cheap,

on a side note does anyone know of any threads or good information on swapping these heads,

I know a bloke with over 30 years VW/Audi experience, can sort Pierburgs also, based in Chelmsford (Essex).

could u pm me some details or a number, it wont be for a fair while, and its a bit far away, but if i cant find anyone else i would rather go on someones recommendation! even if it does mean traveling

thanks for linking that thread, jesus rubjonny seems to be on every forum giving out the infos!

No worries, rubjonny does know his stuff. Atleast you can now get a better understanding on the carb.

Don't know where you're based dude, but there's a good carb specialist in Chesterfield

Not the most pleasant person to deal with, but certainly knows his stuff and wasn't expensive last time i used him

thanks for the info, helpful bunch you lot are

Put a weber on it it a much better carb than the auto choke pierburg rubbish that is on their as standard. A webber would free up quite a chunk of bhp and it would be the first thing I would do.

the weber will actually restrict the power, as it is a smaller carb. they only appear to improve it, as the pierburg carb is generally running very badly at the time of removal. the pierburg running correctly is a vastly superior bit of kit, and there is a manual choke conversion available if you don't like the autochoke

Im sorry but that's wrong, look at the ports on the weber and look at the ports on a pierburg.... night and day difference in throttle response and power.
