16v ABF? Not heard of a ABK before.


It could just be your gear linkage, search ebay for gear linkage repair kits, they're anywhere between £5 and £20 depending on quality and what you get in it. init.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

what gearbox did you have in there.  ?   if  mk2 8v  you need a mk2 8v. of if you have 16v or mk3 clutch you can use a mk3 or mk2 16v clutch.  if you don't mind changing the friction disk you can fit any 020 gearbox
