weather affects my car aswell, think it does to most cars as they get older!!
i got my ISV from ''audi 4 u" in bridgewater, they've moved just down the road since but sure the numbers still the same..... try 'em. they are audi and vw breakers!

ok things are getting confusing......

i posted tryign to clarify here >> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=18437.msg147900#msg147900

but here's the outcome...


037 906 457 D? - what ETKA says should be on my car
037 906 457 C? ?- MK2 Golf
037 133 443 A? - whats on my car!? (the 443 should be ?43 coz i'm not sure its a 4/


guy at breakers seems to think the one on my car is from an Audi 80 16v.
he also said the difference between mk2 and 3 is because of the swap from k-jet (mech inject) to motronic..
 

he's gonna get back to me

^ i'm sure it is too...

is that one stuffed on my car a k-jet style one?

its a 97 16v 2..0? ABF..

hmm. well haynes says its Digifant 3.0?


i always thought it was motronic.. but.. to make things more confusing i've seen pages out there saying motronic is vw speak for digifant..


i;ve seen one page saying <94 is digi 3 and >94 is digi 3.2...

oh well LOL!

cars still behaving ok tonight too... my new ISV (and rear ashtray and ciggie lighter) should be here tomorrow..

i'm hoping the new one is an improvement for several reasons..

the old one obviously has problems if i gotta keep cleaning it.. plus its obviously the wrong bloody one... LOL!
