I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, so happy to move if it's in the wrong area.

The ADZ 1.8l SPFI engine I have in my SEAT Cordoba idles high (just under 1000rpm) and the revs hang if I just touch the throttle in neutral, or when coming up to a stop (will hang around 2000rpm for up...

Hey all,

When starting my Mk4 golf 1.8 last week there was a loud snapping noise in the ignition barrel and now the key stays in the "start" position without any spring back and the car does not turn over / start.

I have removed the steering wheel, lock cylinder and...

Hi all, well I'm the proud new owner of 3 Mk1 golfs all 2 doors.
First and the reason for this thread is a '76 Martini Olive LE swallowtail that was hit in the rear while parked, luckly there was a Subaru between the at fault car and the Golf to soften the blow.

Here's a pick from...

Looking into doing an is20 or is38 swap on my polo. Ive found a clutch and decent diff but I'm unsure if the is38 would be too much for the little polo. I've owned a stage 3 golf gti and even with 245 Hancook rs3s and LSD it still spun 3rd a lot of the time.

Any body know how strong the...

Hello,
Just picked up a 1976 4door mk1 golf ls. It was sitting in a shed for the last 20 years with a blown head.
The engine needs replacing.

From my research the easiest and cheapest replacement is a 1.8 from a mk2? I will probably need a fuel pump though as the original car...

The gearbox on the Passat has died so I'm looking to upgrade the mechanicals.

It's a bog standard 1.8 20v (non turbo) with a 4 speed auto. I'd like to fit a 1.8 turbo with a 5 speed manual box but I'll settle for an auto if I can't find a manual.

Is it worth finding the...

Hello, I've just purchase my first golf (after many years playing with skylines), and I happened to stumble upon this forum when looking for parts.

Its only a mk3 Cl 1.8 manual but i only intend on using it as an introduction into rally/ dirt motorkana.

Any help or pointers...

Putting a new starter on due to hot start issues and need a heatshield for the starter, automatic.

Please help me, don't want to fry another starter.

Hey guys,

haven't had the car for too long, but lately I've been having the problem of the turbo not spooling at all until the engine is at optimal operating temp (needle in the middle position). I understand I shouldn't be on boost until the engine is warm, but I swear it would at least...

Hi all,

Here is the article:

VW recalls 92k models from 2015-2016 for camshaft failure

Any one know if the 2015/ 2016 Polo GTI 1.8 engine is affected? As they have not mentioned this model and it is also an EA888 engine.

Hi there. I am the usually proud owner of an old mk3 CL. I have pulled information out of here on many occasions, and now I am hoping to use it to track down the elusive throttle body for a CL 1.8 litre manual.

Thanks.

Hi guys, new to the form but I've been looking at them for a while. I've owned a couple of vw's. Neither had aspiring performance . My first car was a '98 mk3 with a 1.8 sohc that I picked up for $700. Needless to say I sold that and bought a 2002 2.slow bora....
