Well happy with mine I reckon on you gaining a few bhp and better running over the worn Pierburg anyday!
great results over standard, it'll "feel" much quicker, but wont make it a gti. to get the best from it fit a gti cam as well. as for fitting it, really easy, order a new carb flange (4 bolt) from your favourite german part supplier because the old ones are normally perished and leak causing no fuel to but sucked through. ok follow theese instructions: 1: remove airbox and vacuum conections, battery earth connection as well cos you dont want to explode! 2: remove electrical connections to carb and zip tie up out of the way cos you wont be needind them anymore, tape them up to stope earthing. 3: remove and bung up fuel and vacuum connections to carb. 4: remove throttle cable, this is probably the best time to replace it and the car will feel a lot nicer to drive as well! 5: use a 10mm socket to undo the three long bolts that run through the car into the carb flange, remove the carb. 6: bend the bolt retaining "flaps" and remove the carb flange, fit new carb flange. 7: fit carb adapter plate using the two allenkeys and the carb mounting stud 8: fit the gasket and the carb over the four studs, choke mechanism facing gearbox side, using washers, spring washers and 13mm nuts. 9: refit the fuel line and throttle cabe, you can ditch the green vacuum sphere. 10: fit the choke cable by unscrewing the plastic blanking plate, from behind, in the dash. you will need to remove the drivers side lower dash tray for this. fit the choke pull and feed the cable through a suitable rubber grommit in the bulkhead into the engine bay, offer up to the carb and cut to length. connect to the choke mechanism. check movement. 11: fit the airbox adapter to the top of the carb, c shaped adapter with allen key fixing. 12: refit airbox connecting vacuum pipe to the inlet manifold vacuum valve (yellow and black thingy with connection to the distributor) 13: reconnect baterry, pull out your choke and start your car! it wont start straight away because the fuel has to be pumped into the carb resevior. 14: for basic setup get the car up to temperature and adjust the idle screw so the car idles at around 900 rpm with no choke. then go to the garage and get it done properly. hope this covers it all, if not then people will point it out trd
Sellers, I have the original Destructions / Diagrams for the Weber from when I first got mine. I've scanned them in so if you would like them drop me a quick email and I'll forward them on to you. There are 5 pages and total is 2Mb. Email me at ClubGTI@btinternet.com
Have sent the first email but it got bounced back. I don't think Hotmail accounts like 2Mb emails. So have now sent you 5 emails. Any prob's let me know.
