I'll take a guess, as I was out at the van this morning, ...

Re: Electrical issues / questions 1.9DG water-cooled

Hmmm, we may have reached the limitations of comparing engines. There could be differences from the factory, and there could be differences from work by previous owners. Also it doesn't help that I'm new to VW, too. Only 2 black wires, and no connector from lower left coolant pipe. Also, my engine ...

Re: Help identifying this carburettor please

Can't see anything? The video or photos are blank... to me that is. 2E then nearby a serial number just above, on the upper body off your carb, should start 025, identifies the correct model. Then letter/s at end. Hope this helps This is the serial number photo https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2026...
