16v questions
1.
The KR i have used to has PAS, ive taken all the brackets off, will the same alternator pivot on the block instead of the ali cast bracket?
2.
The engines got a oil-water oil cooler, should I keep this or fit my mk1 gti oil-air cooler?
thats all for now, ta

i think you need the braket to mount the alt on i seem to remember having to keep it when i put mine in i think its something to do with the cambelt cover
2.
i have been thinking of swapping mine over mainly because it leaks but think its more reliable and has more oil in system so lower temperatures. been reading a book on golf modifying and it says that its got to be thermostatically controlled otherwise it wont warm up and cold oil is bad. i think a std one just bolts on but ive been told the gasket isnt available anymore.
also when i looked at it in the bay the pipes for oil cooler are very close to the alternator but i think they can be adjusted to clear it.
if you do decide to do it post up how it goes

2. up to you, you can bin the mk2 water one, or keep it alongside the mk1 air cooler. the mk2 unit helps warm the oil quicker on a cold start. the gasket is the same for the mk1 housing and available so no problem, its the seals and gasket inside the mk1 unit that arnt available. you can make your own gaskets but iirc the oring is a tricky size. the std mk1 item is thermostatically controlled too so thats a plus.
main thing before you do anythign check the mk2 oil filter housing. the very late blocks changed to the mk3 shape so the mk1 oil filter/cooler housing wont fit

I think with the alternator im going to cut down the bracket and keep the one i have now, ive never had the engine running so if the alternators alright ill stick with it, if its on its way out ill look into the mk3 conversion.
So to have both oil coolers running im guessing id keep the mk2 cooler and filter housing, but have a sandwich plate for my mk1 cooler to be connected?

Will my original 1.8 8v kjet metering head be good enough to fuel the 2.0 16v?
Ive got 2 others (1.8 16v ones) I think but they are in the bigger housings

90-spec airbox is no good its far too wide! the inlet boot is larger on the 16v so make sure you use one of those, but it needs to be a 90spec one as pre-90 is too tall
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
you can actually stretch a mk1 8v boot onto the kr air flap assembly, i had to do that on my cab as i had no 16v parts to hand. it took some doing but its on there now! it fits the rest of the 16v inlet piping fine too.
have a read of my thread pics of what to do to make the 16v airbox fit. i ran mine thru the winter like this and no issues, makes it sound awesome when the bottom is cut off too. tunnels + roof down =
