Ruined Rides - Replacing Carburetor Flange On A MK2F POLO

[@rainermaria]

Cheers guys, great to see this before dismounting the carb on my Golf 2. Looks much easier than I expected.

Intake manifold looks identical to my 1050 ("1.1L"). Gives me hope the weber carb swap kit can be fitted simply by replacing the carb flange to the other style

Fascinating I thought these were fuel injected

[@MrNoysip]

What carb is in the 1.3 polo from 87? :) I think I have the 2e3 carb but im not sure

[@teslatube8018]

hi, how do you remove/secure the bolts that hold the flange in, theres nothing in the Haynes manual or that i can see on the internet, i'm beginning to think its impossible ha,

[@adammitchelson9150]

This is 6 months late but they’re sometimes nutted to the underneath of the engine manifold

[@StewSims]

Hi guys as someone on here also asked do you have any tips for removing the nuts off the bottom of the manifold - is it easy enough reach under and do it by feel with a ratchet or spanner?

[@RuinedRides]

We just reached from the top with a 10mm rachet spanner and got them off like that, took ages but was really the only way.

@@RuinedRides thanks I'll have a go then :)

When are you guys gonna upload a new video?

[@RuinedRides]

soon we are coming back

What happened the polo with yellow engine ?

[@RuinedRides]

A lot has been done since the last video on it so we will do a update video. It was running on cbr600 carbs but Peter changed his mind and is now trying to get it running on Weber's.
