Peirburg 2 E Carburettor Problems https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images_custom/ocf_emoticons__BangHead.gif
When I eventually got fed up and took it back it was revving its face off on idle and could barely be driven. I have tried in vain to find a new carb without success. My own carb has some kind of sensor on that has since fallen apart where the plastic became brittle so I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me its proper name and where I might buy that part. I was also told that the automatic has a different carb to the manual, is this correct?
I'm ok mechanically but I'm really a body man so any help or advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

When I rebuild carbs, I clean it totally up…where it would look brandy newish.
Since I am a Digifant guy or a Diesel head I will stop now as I can't add anything significant save for the vacuum hoses don't look new, and well these guys hate vacuum leaks.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

The cabby I am doing now is an auto, I’ve tried to resurrect the pierburg but gave up, bit the bullet and fitted a Weber. I’m a body man as well and I did it, it took about an hour and there’s a guide on YouTube, however, there was a few anomolies I had to get round but feel free to ping me if you need help…

Take a look at this video, he points out the wax stat and there is another video on reset.
The way I did it, with the engine running, warm and high idle, I forced the control pin bit to go in with a big screwdriver, and I noticed that the revs dropped when I pushed in it. It was as if the linkage needed adjustment. I pushed hard on it to force it back and held it there, it seemed to do the trick and drop the idle for good.
The car had been out of use for a long time.
It’s probably not the best way to do it, but I’m a body man and it worked LoL
