Its the MK3 golf abf type cap, the standard kr one hits the brake fluid reservoir! Using this one gives you just enough clearence

Is that using the normal Scirocco fuel pumps as well..Or did you have to use a 16v one? If theres a difference..I'm not sure.

Nah, no difference at all! Tho you will have to re-route them over to the opposite side of the engine bay - i found making up new lines alot easier!
If yours is already injected the swap is fairly straight forward, you'lll be keeping the majority of the 8v running gear/wiring but will need the 16v ecu/tci plus wiring loom for them

Unfortunately..My Scirocco is a 1.6 GT at the minute, with a nasty Pierburg on it. I've got an 8v loom and K-Jet system left over from my Scala so I have a few bits to play with.

You should pretty much have everything you'll need then
May be worth speaking to 'Rusty dan' on here as he has done the conversion from a carb to 16v

The conversion won't be much of an issue, I've done quite a few engine swaps in various cars already. I just like to have a picture of what the end result should look like...It helps to high light obvious issues I may have over looked..Such as the dizzy cap thing.
Seeing as the car is my reliable daily that I need to use pretty much everyday..I want to at least pretend I'm prepared

Ah! They've fit the fluid reservoir on in the opposite direction, so its on backwards to get the clearance
Never thought of that one

Where abouts in the metering head do you stick the washer? I'm confused
