Hayden · 28-12-07, 06:57 PM

Ive a 1987/88 audi 80 1.8 carb and sometimes it ticks over just under 2000 rpm, Anyone know what the problem could be?

Coxy · 28-12-07, 07:22 PM

air leak causing air intake into the carb?

Hayden · 28-12-07, 07:23 PM

Or choke stuck on (fast idle cam is iffy on these !)

is it a Pierburg 2E2???

If so, that's your problem.

Get a Weber 32/34DTML (£50 off ebay) and fit that BUT DON'T FORGET TO GET THE HEATER BIT OFF THE PIERBURG........

Weber gives better MPG, better throttle response and better reliability......

No brainer really. I have installation instructions if you get one without the instructions.

Not sure if it is a Pierburg, Im not going to be able to look at the car until next weekend now :-(
I will have a look and let you know, Im off to ebay now to see if there are any webbers....
just incase!

Do a search on both "Weber" and "Webber" on ebay.

Like I said, if you need instructions, give me a shout.

Cheers,

Steve

If it hasn't got a manual choke (and handle near the steering wheel somewhere), chances are its a Pierburg.

Pierburgs are very advanced, and great when they work, but a nightmare when they go wrong.

PS got any piccies???
