Title: Mk2 golf ecu
Post by: VWchapman17 on 09 August 2013, 12:45: I have a mk2 golf 1.3 A reg
Ive noticed I dont have an ecu, the e u in a mk2 golf is usually located on the drivers side scuttle panel.. But I've got nothing there, not even the ecu cover.

Does it matter I have no ecu, it wouldn't be anywhere else in the engine bay?
Or because its a 1.3 A reg then does that mean it doesn't have one?

Fuel economy?
Top speed/ acceleration?

The fuel pump is mechanically operated, as is the spark distribution using a set of points, via the camshaft.
