1.6 Carburettor Downpipe Needed!

Hello all,

I am after a downpipe for my 1.6 cabriolet. No joy on Heritage or Classic VW (out of stock). Any other options where I might find one greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rachel

What sort of down pipe do you have?

Later "Toilet bowl" type with those big C clips?

Or early 6 bolt?

Thank you, it's  the toilet boil type with the c clips… would the ebay 1.8  injection one fit my 1.6 carb?  That would be good news!

Thanks, Rachel

Do you know what your engine code is? Possibly a EW?

Yes it's EW034821, thanks again for all your help.

I'm not 100% sure but they do show the same part number for the 1.6 and 1.8 carb and injection in the link below.

VW Part number 171253091A

But classic vw are showing a different part number?
Vw part number 171253091E

Link to part number above.

I think the difference is a bend in the exhaust to go over the anti roll bar, do you have a front anti roll bar?

Hmm not sure, will check tomorrow. Thank you very much for this, very much appreciated.

Rachel

Morning,

Just checked and no front anti roll bar. So on that basis, it should be the one without the bend?

Thanks, Rachel

 

Ignore last post - found it as per link - excellent result, thank you again for all your help!
