abf

How restrictive is the inlet pipe on an ABF? Ive seen it has the big recess in it for the brake reservoir so would it be beneficial to swap it for a more free flowing pipe like a samco jobbie or is it going to make naff all difference to the car? Id only do it if i were to notice a...

iv just brought a beeza 2.0 16v completely standard, and woz wonderin if anyone out there could tell me where i can get a performance manifold from? much apreciated, ron

Hi! Seat Ibiza 20.0 GTI 16V 1997 P Reg Not a mechanical expert but the distributor part I need is:- The part which fits into the head and slots into the cam - the unit that you put the rotor arm onto. Part number 037 905 205 m. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Would be...

Hello all, Hope you've all had a good Christmas... Anyway, my mate and I were talking and he seems to think that the exhaust manifold on the ABF is the same as on a Volvo Turbo Diesel. He says this means it'd be both cheap and easy to turbocharge 16v Ibiza's and Golf's. I said it's...

I think buy Shrick cam for my car... But I'm not sure which degrees is good for use incity drive. And, is stock ECU is enough for degree cams? I need fixed slow running. Thanks :)

i bought an ABF rocker cover from F2_Stu a while back, must have been april, and i want to get it polished, just wondering if it'll fit the 1.8 16v ADL lump that i've got? should do really i think the only thing that's different is the bottom end between those engines isnt it? any help mucho...

Found the No2 Spark plug swimming in oil so can only assume it's the headgasket gone, anyone had it done, & what did it cost?

Ive recently heard that if you swap the inlet manifold (50mm inlet) on a 2.0 16v ABF Cupra to a 42mm inlet manifold this will increase your acceleration?? Does any 1 know if this is true? Cheers

Hi all, helped a friend wire a 2.0l 16V ABF engine into a mk1 golf today with the help of a couple of wiring diagrams :) When the engine starts (which is always good), however the tick-over is right up the spout it sort of revs hard then almost stalls then repeats constantly as if it is...

I've found the 'switch' today - which is the one above the gearbox.... but there must be another.... Anyone have a clue where it is? I need to scale it for my MS to work right.

right, after finding out i've got an ADL lump in my GTI (1.8 :cry:) was just wondering what the difference between the two lumps? my mate supercharged his ABF, just wondered if it was similar enough to do my ADL lump? i need to make a headgasket spacer to lower the compression ratio, are the...

I replaced my rocker cover gasket a couple of weeks ago and after removing the manifold and rocker cover I noticed that the new gasket set had a ridge all the way around. It looked like it should have fitted into a groove on the lip of the cover but there wasn't one! I trimmed this lip off...

Hi Folks, Any ideas with this one? I am binned off with the final drive on my 16v ABF engine (99 Ibiza). I reckon it should have a 02A box not 020 with a final drive of 3.684. Is this correct? This is pretty relaxed and I'm not really using 4th especially 5th much on events before back on...

Just seen this chip on ebay for the ABF 2.0 16v engine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK3-GTI-2-0L-16V-ABF-Performance-Chip-24AB-24BE_W0QQitemZ320094232993QQcategoryZ32094QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Anyone know if its any good?? Is it genuine??, anyone got one??? Paul

Hi guys, I currently have a 16v abf out of the vw golf, we never got this motor here in South Africa(very delayed). Seeing that you guys have the motors in your cars standard what would you recommend mods wise to acheive +-140kw on the flywheel? Im thinking Cams(268/272), slight headwork and...

Just checked my oil and noticed that the plastic collar part of the dipstick tube has snapped in half, so that when i take the dipstick out half the orange plastic collar comes with it. Is this easy to change, on my old VTS the tube for the dipstick was held on with one bolt and otherwise it...

i can't get my abf to run in a mk2 golf its all wired up right, got new crank senser, dizzy, plugs and a different ecu. it fires when your first try it but cuts out then if you keep turning it over it won't start then stops every now and then like its firing halfway up the cylinder and tring to...

Hello everyone! Haven't been on here for a while, do apologise been busy at work. Anyway, I'm calling on the knowledge of you tuning heads with this engine :) At the moment I got 190bhp out of the car but ideally I want to go for 200bhp. The spec of my car is in my sig (saves me typing...

Hi I'm trying hook up the tacho on my 1991 MK2 Golf to my recently converted Seat Ibiza (1998) ABF lump. All the other instruments work on my clocks after plugging the bulk of the loom into my fusebox apart from the rev counter :confused: which seems to be a common problem in this...
