Oh dear just bought myself a golf mk4 gti 1.8t 20v think am gonna have to stick it in my car ha ha

Ah cool good to know, I mean seat gti my bad

After some mk3 reading I can use the seat Cupar gearbox and clutch as its a cable one. Wiring loom sounds a pain tho hate electro poo lol but I know a good electrician who might do it cheap. Think I'm just after getting my car running well first cos mines been nothing but a head ache. Don't want 5 ...

Sorry guys if am asking what's already been done. But basically sick of trying to sort my running issues when it's only a 115bhp anyway. So question is how easy is the swap to 16v? What issues as regards to wiring loom drive shafts gearbox etc cheers

Ooooo dunno too long off the road I could prob manage 2 poss 3 days off road so looks like me 16v idea is best. Cheers bud good luck with sale

I've an 8v and it's doing me head in was thinking of 16v ing it would love a 1.8t can get a whole car for 600 ish remapped n all that

Mate how much the conversion set you back?

Is it an easy job? Read a few bits that say it just drops in but having done engine changes in the past I know doesn't work like that lol

Ok getting fed up now!! So looking towards a abf 16v conversion. Anyone done this to a 8v?

Done fuel filter too, have to buy a O2 sensor try it and see what happens

Well it's not the guy I took it too gave it the once over said cat was blocked and throttle position sensor was gone. Had it fixed but still hesitates he says the lambda sensor is a cheap one and disconnected it he said ecu should learn to run without it, but being the way I am I'm not happy ill ...

Pictures coming next week after snow and I've got my banded steels. Paid a deposit on them today coilovers next

Well for everyone following my very slow thread cars being dignosed. The throttle position sensor is gone and a blocked cat. Getting replacement sensor £49 and the cat insides gutted £75 all in woo hoo can now save n focus on wheels n coilies

Dooooooo it conversion alone is £1500 ish!!!!

Could be worse my 2.0gl is doing 24 mpg at no and can't seem to work out why it is lol. Bought a fault computer due soon so that hopefully pin point the prob but thinking O2 sensor and the cat at fault not cheap by any means

No still got em

hey guys as stated in couple other posts been having probs with my car and hesitation under acceleration its the 2L petrol 8V engine code 2E. I have changed almost everything that needs changing and have altered the hesitation ie improved it ever so slightly yet its still there ever present so im ...

Yeah mate fingers crossed can't wait to be flying around then back on track for me mods

Well cars booked in for a full diagnostics got sick of reading this n that told this n that. Just costing me £25 and then al know exactly what's going on only prob is a have to wait till the 27th but ah well
