What does a weber carburetor do on a volkswagen scirocco 1.8 more HP?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The original carburettor in the golf and scirocco was a pierburg. It was a complex and very well engineered device. When it worked it was very efficient and effective but sadly when it didn't, it was very inefficient. Because it was complex and difficult to maintain without special knowledge, most people opted for the webber conversion. The webber is not as efficient but it is simpler and easier to maintain. It will not give you more HP and it will burn more fuel than a well run pierburg but it is a lot more reliable if you don't know how to keep a pierburg.

How to set valve timing on 1995 Daewoo Nexia DOHC?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer and some wise wordsI found this out the hard way: knackered the head and then worked it out from basic principles. The info on the internet is all wrong (or at least does not apply to the 1996 DOHC 16V 1.6 Nexia I have) The AllData manual I got from a mate's uncle in the trade was also wrong - it said the inlet cam mark should be at 3 o'clock and the exhaust cam mark should be at 9 o'clock, so they are right next to each other looking at the side of the engine where the cam belt is. It then said that the crankshaft pully mark should be at 6 o'clock. If you do this you will break your valves & pistons and maybe more. There is a timing spike that sticks out from the engine block at about 2 o'clock looking at the crankshaft pully - the pully mark lines up with this when the cams are at 3 and 9 o'clock as above. This worked for me, but see below too.

I learned a few things: You can of course (with the head off or by looking at the bottom of the pistons up through the sump) work out the timing (approximately but accurately enough) to see where the marks should be. And where they should be there will be a very obvious timing mark/spike on the engine block or head cover or something or at least a very obvious alignment of marks with each other. You know, when the #1 piston is coming to the top and the inlet is just opening and the exhaust is just about closed then that is the end of the exhaust stroke and then the intake stroke is about to start - well get the crank and the cams about there, then rotate keeping them in sync and you will see what I mean. Put the pully and cams in the right places (approx) before putting the head back on - less likely to bump piston and valve that way. Turn the engine over a number of times (the cam goes clockwise/forwards) by hand - you should only have very slight resistance from the pistons compressing air (so only twice for a rotation of the crankshaft pully). If you get hard resistance that seems to be from the cams when turning the crankshaft you have got the timing wrong - the pistons are bending the valves. Do not do bolts that go into the aluminum head too tight. To get the pully and cover on/off - just crowbar the engine over a bit. Oh yeah - those half moon shaped dents in the top of the pistons - that is to handle the valve overlap.

Hope that all helps

The crankshaft pulley mark on the timing cover is for the drive belt pulley, the mark at 6 o'clock is for the crankshaft cog (behind the pulley),there is a small dot on the crankshaft cog which lines up on the small mark on the small bottom timing cover. When changing the head gasket to prevent damage to the valves turn the crank back to the 3 o'clock position and when the camshafts are lined up (inlet 3 o'clock exhaust 9 o'clock) turn the crankshaft clockwise to 6 o'clock.

Power steering fluid level is checked at the power steering fluid resevoir. It is located on the passenger side in front of engine. If you can't find it follow the hoses up from the power steering pump wich is on the passenger side of the car mounted on the front ( facing the passenger side wheel well ) and bottom of the motor.

Volkswagen replacement keys?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here's a little information about this.

1. Most often miss understood is programing. Programing the button REMOTE portion of the key is simple and referred to as matching.

You do need 2 keys. You must be able to lock the drivers door and have the red led alarm light next to the lock button blink. If it does not blink, the alarm does not know the door is closed and will not go into matching mode. Put one key in the ignition switch, turn on, do not start engine. Close the door, use 2nd key, turn door lock and hold in lock position for 10 seconds. Release key to neutral position.

Press a button on the remote, within 2 seconds press the same button again, the turn signal lights will flash,

this indicates your remote matches the car system and is now recognized. Unlock door remove key from ignition.

So don't pay extra 99 cents to $5 for these instructions in hopes of getting the KEY to function with the car.

Instructions are only for the keyless remote, not the key.

2. If you've lost/broken both keys, and if you have the black tag that came with your car manuals, you can order another from a dealer.

3. Link for replacement or lost keys. http://haakey.com

How do you set the timing on a 92 Nissan maxima 3.0 dohc?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

loosen the distributor, have a timing light, preferably an adjustable one, and it should be 15 degrees +/- 2 before tdc.

***See what engine code you have. If it is a Maxima SE (DOHC)(VE30DE engine code) you will have a timing chain instead of belt and probably no distributor. The GXE (SOHC) has the VG30 engine which has the belt...

Can you put a bigger motor in a 1985 vw scirocco?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely.

Go to VWVortex.com and search for '1985 Scirocco' or 'FS Scirocco'. Someone probably has it for sale or has a photo series.

The 16 valve 1.8L engine from 1986-88 and then other models bolts right in, just with stiffer mounts, and a different exhaust system, CIS-E fuel system with knock sensor. Uses same transmission.

Also can use the VW ABA 2.0L engine from a 1993+ Golf Jetta. Just use 1.8 16v mounts. Requires the knock sensor also. Either transmission.

Other engines: 2.0L 16v with its transmission, or a VR-6 (good luck).

All require as well: LARGER master cylinder and power boost, larger front brakes, oil cooler, front springs, all 4 struts, and ABSOLUTELY must have cross brace at lower control arms.
