Mk2 Golf Chat / mk2 golf 1.3 front hub swap
Last post by wub -
Hi i have a 1987/88 mk 2 golf 1.3. its right on the change over year so has the older style open bearings that you grease up, on the front wheel hubs.  I dont know why but these dont seem to last very long, i've done them twice in the last 5000 miles and ones gone again. Any body tried swapping the front hubs for the later (1988 onwards) sealed bearing type hubs? Does everything have to be changed, ie calipers, drive shafts etc or is just the hub thats different?

Thanks

I.C.E & Electrical / Fog lights
Last post by MSP -
Hi all

I have located and bought some hella front fogs for my type 19

I have located the the wiring under the coolant tank and ordered the relay to power this up

First question

Is it a power feed to the lights and then earth to the chassis or can the earth run back to the same plug?

Second question

Where can you get brackets to mount the lights or can someone take some pics of theirs so I can make some up

Any pics of the lights set up would help please

Other Problems / Re: 8v GU with Weber 32/34 DMTL AND 4-2-1 exhaust Super lean

I changed the manifold to a GTi one, and fitted a corrado downpipe and GTi exhaust on my 1600 Golf Driver and didn't even have to retune the weber carb.  It ran fine, and power has improved above 4k revs.  So this suggests changing the exhaust manifold and exhaust makes little difference in itself. So the problem is there is either an air leak in the intake somewhere, or some passages in the carb are blocked.
