serious carb freezing problems

[JMallows]

Thats exactly what i did, on the recommendation from VW, and i havent had carb icing in three years... I used to get it pretty bad too, sometimes in the summer too. Also, carb icing doesnt really happen when its really cold, tends to only happen when its damp or just a bit cooler.

Let's hope that solves your carb problem.

to be honest i give all respect to mk2 owners, and infact all old vw owners, be it old polos jettas ect. ive had a 1.3 a 1.6 driver an 8v Gti and now ive got a G60 but unlike you i dont go around with a chip on my shoulder, and before you start yaping on about 16valves la la la ive got a car with an ABF in it so i kind of know how they work as well.

as for you, your not making many friends around here
as for the original point of this topic, hope having the hot air feed stuck open sorts your problem mate like i say it sorted mine a few years back and then in the warm weather i just removed the screw.

Sharpie, stop baiting them.

Them. stop rising to the bait that Sharpie throws in. For goodness sake, he's looking for a rise and you're in there rising hook, line and sinker.

While a 16V is nice and an ABF is even nicer, it's possible to have a lot of fun with an 8V - even one with drums on the back.

Thanks for wasting at least 10mins of my life ridding this topic of shit.

In future i'll just delete the lot, any problems either PM me, or come visit me at a show. Ta ra.
