to choke or not to choke ...

I gave a mate a lift through to leeds today and said friend started asking questions about my car ie what engine etc …
upon sayin my car was a 1.5 engine and explaining how trying it can b in a morning now its gettin cold and infact also how old my car is my mate said …
"doesnt your choke fix that ??"
what choke im thinking ….

should i have one …. coz i don t ??

If its a standard carburettor, it will have an automatic choke. The good news is, it seems to be working perfectly, since you aren't reporting any cold running issues! I have a 1.6 with Weber carb, and manual choke. The engine will not start or run without the choke, on a cold start.

:dontknow:

You sould be able to get a manual choke conversion if your auto choke is kaput.  There is a place in the dash for the cable.

Did the 1.5 have the pierburg?

Someone told me they had a sloex, or are they the same??

The ones I've seen had the pierburg

Cool, was never sure.

Oh and quiff, my golf is still running!!
