a friend of mine bought a gti cam from a mk2 for his 1.6 8v driver a year ago and never fitted it i can get it for free and was wondering if it would work in a mk3 golf 1.8 8v GL ? the engine llooks the same to me
It will fit, most of the mk3 SPi models have mk2 carb cams. It may have the wrong charachteristics to allow the ECU to go into closed-loop Lambda feedback mode tho...
It's an operating mode of the ecu where it adjusts the mixture to get the lambda probe (exhaust gas) where it shoud be. It's an MOT requirement that it works in this mode.
