Mk2 Golf Chat / AGG/PG build
I’ve scored a great job lot of engine bits including an agg block and a very good condition pg(g60) head.

I’ve already stripped the block down and have ordered new bearings and a gasket kit. And given both the block and head a good clean and a lick of paint

I’m planning on running the digi setup and possibly down the line adding a turbo. But is there anything that could be an issue running the pg head on the agg block?

A standalone ecu isn’t out of the question but would like to remain as stock as possible. Hopefully running the distributor ect

Has anyone done a build like this before? I can’t find much online
Cheers !

Mk2 Golf Chat / Catch can
Hi all.
Now I’m finally putting some miles on my golf (1.8 8v running a Weber carb and k&n top filter) I’ve noticed the cab smelling very smoky when driving, this is presumably because the blow by from the crank is vented to atmosphere because of the k&n filter. So I’ve decided to run a catch can.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a specific (not extortionate lol) or just go for a universal can hidden down on the firewall

Mk2 Golf Chat / Heating issues
Hi all, I’ve recently got my baby back on the road but struggle to drive in this weather because I keep fogging up because the heater doesn’t work

It’s a relatively new heater core 3-4years old and maybe 3000 miles so I doubt that’s the issue, no leaks and no air bubbles in the coolant.

I’ve shown here in red and blue what’s pipes are hot and cold, the bypass valves are the cutoff for where the heat stop, could this be the issue and I need to go back to straight pipes or new bypass valves

Hi all.

I’m joining now as I’m getting close to getting my mk2 on the road.

She’s been garaged for a year after an engine swap to a PB Weber carb swap.
I’m sure I’ll be asking for advice a lot so thought I’d pop my head in first
