1.6 Gli cab

[richard ellison]

is my 1980 1.6 gli golf injection or carb?

just been speaking to TSR about an engine upgrade  turns out if its carb the replacement 1.8/1.9/2.0 will look identical from first glance

Think about that one for a minute mate 

GLi - its an i dude, thats i for injection innit 

[richard ellison]

thats what I thought but TSR seem to think otherwise. any of the more experienced experts know?   :embarassed:

My mates GLi was injection, it was a detuned version of the GTi engine

I'm sure that the GLi is the exact same engine as the 1.6 GTI mk1 engine and its just that the early cabbys were badged as GLi.

My old GLi was 1.6 fuel injected. I think GLi was the term before GTi.

  And you questioned my experience, shame on you

Have you got any pics of under the hood? Should be able to tell you if it's carb or injection straight away

And here comes the Expert guys - I've had several Gli and they are all Injections 1.6 & 1.8.

I think TSR have a GL cab which is the carb version. unless someone has done a conversion from injection to carb on a Gli - which is not VAG spec then.

And yes the Gli come before the GTI versions

Gli was from 79-83.

You guys were right, it is an injection. Just makes me weary of a conversion when they dont even know if my car is injection or not!

Being looked at in a few weeks for engine diagnostics.. fingers crossed wont be too painful.

Foe the meantime it has started to act like a kangaroo and  jump/splutter when I put the accelrator down occasionally. makes me think the fuel injector is messed up or something
