Hi Guys,
Some of you will know that im changing my Piper cam 285 and going back to standard…
Car is 1.8 gti dx
solid lifters / tappet shims…..
1. will a standard cam from a later dx fit? its out of a hydro lifters head….
2. is the 1.6 gti standard cam same as the 1.8 gti, (solid lifters)
cheers…..

You need to use the cam from a solid cam follower engine for your DX

Hi my friend,

No this won't fit !!!
2. is the 1.6 gti standard cam same as the 1.8 gti, (solid lifters)
Yes they are the same there is a big G on the camshaft that;s the one you need.
Take a picture out of ETKA so you can see the part nr and engines where this cam is used.
