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?

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?

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.
https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/golf+cabriolet/goc/1984-44/2/
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?

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