MK1 golf Pierburg 2e2 replacement - taffy
I have an '86 Golf 1.6 gl Convertible, with the usual carb problems:-( I am looking for a replacement weber. Can anyone recommend the model I should buy?

I had a Jetta 1.8 with the dreaded 2e2 carb, eventually bit the bullet and fitted a weber - what an improvement all round, better performance and economy and much smoother. Not too bad to fit either, go for it.

Richard Hall, regular poster on here, sings the praises of the replacement of the Pierburg with a Weber and when he's posted on the subject has given the impression that German & Swedish sell the Weber model in question and won't need to be told the model number, they'll just know.

No, not that one.

I agree with Matt, I had the same Pierburg on my Golf and spent many an hour trying to fix it - always uncessfully. Simply replace it with the manual choke Weber from G&S and the car will be transformed. They are about £200 IIRC.

What, me? I wasn't going to contribute to this one, as other posters had said it all, and if I go on about G&S any more, then HJ will ban me 'cos he'll start thinking I work for their advertising department. But yes, G&S stock them. Various versions (1.6, 1.8, auto transmission, manual transmission), all easy to fit and no side effects.
