Re: Mk 2 16v restoration Reply #24 – June 18, 2020, 08:37:17 PM Two pistons looked brown and maybe ran a bit rich, but two looked like this.https://photos.app.goo.gl/ebdAt5tndKKNmztw8May need a reconditioned fuel distribution unit. Lets see when the new injectors are on - not for a couple of months yet.Meantime, cleaned up, these beauties'll cut in half to make nice desk ashtrays (how non-PC) for some of my more piston-headed mates, even though none of them smoke!. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2rdi6E2o7Cy6i1qP6 Last Edit: June 22, 2020, 09:02:55 PM by EJYT

You will likely get multiple answers but it would be helpful to add more specifics such as engine size, trim level, colour, number of doors etc as this will have an impact on the value.
