Engine & Gearbox / Air,fuel mixture screw on top of cab cover
Hi everyone,
                    I got a vw golf mk2 Driver 1990 1600cc cab.
First question, someone fiddeled with the cab air/fuel screw on top of the cab cover, now it seems to use to much petrol,...
How do you adjust it properly ??? I tried a few times when car is hot but i-m un-sure if i screw too much or too less lol.

Second question, for this car what should the idle RPM be ? I've seen some saying 800 to 850, others 900 to 950 ?
What's best ??

Thank you very much,

Regards,

Phil.

Engine & Gearbox / Re: Golf Driver 1600cc 1990 carburator top cover ( airbox)
thank you all, as i said all the pictures are from the hole part i bought on ebay as i needed a few compatible bits, not actually mine.
My car looks 100% as the photo you posted Keekster64. The second photo aslo from e-bay and noticed the rubber ring in it. Mine doesn't have it so it's normal as i got the orginial pietsburg cab as explained again by Keekster, thank you again !
Finally, i looked everywhere for the piece with the rubber that holds the front of the box ( picture 1 ). Where can i buy it if possible ???, i looked everywhere and ended getting picture 4. I guess i could always cut one side ?

Thanks again, Phil.

Hi, ty, yes i knew it was a bit confusing. So first picture is what i bought on e-bay, problably wrong, as you can see, it's got a joint inserted in the cab cover, mine doesn't and seems it does not need one for a Golf mk2 Driver ?. The second pic is about holding the full  airbox. I got this part but it's not the right one as it's got 2 screws,... And mine only got one with the rubber as per photo of what i need ?
 if it makes sense ??

Engine & Gearbox / Golf Driver 1600cc 1990 carburator top cover ( airbox)
Hi, I'm new and this is my first post :)
I have a 1990 mk2 golf driver 1600cc cab 55 Kw EZ 75HP , just before the 1800cc came out.
I've been doing my head in about 2 little things and hope someone can confirm, TY.

First, on the plastic cover that fits on top of the cab, mine doesn't have a round joint in between the part that fits on carburetor ( round). Is this normal ? i made loads of research and seems it doesn't have one from factory and usually is for 1.1-1.3 models only ?

Second the air filter housing secure rubber at the begining of the hole airfilter box is broken and i'm lookimg everywhere for a replacement. This model has one that only screws on one side and then the other side is a metal curved ring that fits and holds on the airbox ring. All i could find is the standart one with two threads that of course will not fit ! Any ideas where i can buy this ?

Thank you for all your advices,

Phil.
