run out mk2 gti 8v

[GolfDan]

as sharpie replied about my carb icing problems "get a gti", well ive taken his advice....sharpie, thats probably the most expensive bit of advice you've given here.

nice one.

my second bit of advice is not to buy an 8v.

well im getting an 8v digi for a good reason. in afew years im gonna put an abf in there, and being digi its a straight swap.

I thought it was k-jet they were compatible with?

dosen't make any difference,   you throw the Digi 2 way  and use the ABF ecu and you should throw k jet away as well.   the post 90 ce2 fuse box just makes fitting the abf loom easier. 

[GolfDan]

That what I meant tho danny, don't you have to replace loom fuel pump etc if your replacing a digi

[sharpie]

i think my 8v is quicker than a friend's 16v but we have had this descussion loads of times

not that old chestnut.

Only when people mis-guidedly force K-jet on them instead of using proper Digifant 3.2/Motronic.

The poor lambs (the ABFs, that is).

yawn

still, rather have a 16v on kjet than an 8v run with any type of ecu

ether fuel pump will work with EFI, 

id rather have carbs than K jet   

[GolfDan]

My k-jet gets me about perfecctly well 

[VeeDubGTI16v]

id rather have carbs than K jet

dont know how many kilometers per liter i do, but i got 300 miles from a tankful on my 1.6 driving normaly, and a gti should get about 250 from normal driving if its all set up properly.

WTF!

I get about 130 miles out of a tank from my 1.6

Proberly a combination of heavy foot syndrome and a badly setup carb! (and dodgy starter motor not starting it properly)
