Regional Meets / Re: South West/Bristol - First Friday Motor Meet - 2024 dates added

Does't look likely, but is this still going ahead?


Hi, sorry only just seen this. Not been on much lately.

Yes this still goes on every month (except January) on the first Friday.

I’ve started to push this out to more groups as a general car meet as so many of the regulars (myself included now) either no longer have a mk2 or their mk2 is off the road and they come in their daily or alternative motor.

For the first time in a very long time there was no mk2 golf, in fact not even a VW last Friday. The closest we had was my sons SEAT Leon FR, I was in my new Mini, and we had Porsche there. So VAG and a good spattering of German.

The next meet, and last one of the year will be December 5th.

We usually get a decent turnout for the December meet, with the option to go into the carvery for a dinner.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Mark II 16V engine tuner?
Last post by Monkey -
Well, Hamlins in Bridgwater used to do all of the machining work for TSR back in the day.
I might start there.
Also, the likes of Retro Resus in the same area would probably be able to help too.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Mark II 16V engine tuner?
Last post by Small bumper + steelies -
Hello,

Do you know of any "old school quality" engine builders to do a traditional re-build / upgrade of the Mk 2 16V engine?  Like what Oettinger / BBR would have done in period.  (I don't want a turbo engine swap.)

I'm struggling to find anybody!  Location; anywhere in UK is fine.  Many thanks in advance.

Other Problems / Re: Unlucky for some 13 potential water leak areas.
Last post by MSP -
My Mk2 has been in a garage for 10 years and now it’s out and I’m using it, water is leaking in everywhere

I spent Saturday replacing the membranes as the cards were soaked but now the headlining is wet ( just cleaned the drain via wheel arch as the sun roof is stuck)

But now just noticed a drip by the fuses on the drivers side

Can you get the original wax to seal around the grommets?
