Scirocco Register

Hi I inherited this carb with my new Rocco and was wondering whether anybody could help me out. I spoke to a mechanic about fitting this and he informed me that there was a couple of things missing and so it would be a difficult and costly job. I have put some pics up so you guys can have a look and see what might be needed to get it in shape to go on my Rocco. I'm just about to fit a replacement Pierburg for the time being. Cheers for any help and advice in advance.

the cynic in me reckons he's trying to get out of doing it. obviously you'll need a choke cable and you'll need to make sure the accellerator cable has the right nipple on it, but otherwise i can't think what he would be referring to. possible it may be jetted for the wrong size engine?

The only thing thats jumping out at me is the return spring for the throttle

when I had mine fitted, we had to make a small bracket for the throttle cable, as it's sat on the other side of the carburettor and the accelerator was sticking. It's easy to do though.
You'll also need a small adaptor bracket to fix it to the manifold. A friend made mine for me.
Took a while to get mine changed over to a Weber, but it's seriously worth it.

The only things missing have already been listed, a choke cable and the throttle return spring. Dont think the mechanic fancied the job

The carb will bolt straight to the inlet manifold as it is, no need for any adapter plate to be made up, also the carb is jetted for a 1.8 too so will be good to go on the GTS!

Hows the car tho?

Car is good but Pierburg is on its last legs. When it pulls to a stop if cuts out everytime now regardless of how long the engine has been running. Picked up a cheap Pierburg to do me until I find someone to do the Weber. Anybody know anyone good with Rocco's in South Yorkshire area?
