Noooooooooooooo don't do it. I'm sure there's a part somewhere.

 

Don't scrap it, you know you'll regret it :)

the MAF? surely VW still sell them and if not can't you get replacements from BOSCH directly? I know its not cheap but if it keeps you on the road...

Its the metering head unit.. different setup on the valvers than it is on the VR's chris!

 

They're definately around - admittedly less people are breaking 2.0's than they are 1.8's but i'm surprised they're so tough to find!

Should be easy to find - I had to find at least 3 or 4 while I had my C! Try looking for 2.0 16V Passats in scrapyards and stick wanted threads on every forum you can think of and one will turn up!

 

The 9A's metering unit is the weakest link with that engine so if you can find a couple it's worth keeping one spare...

Yeah, was gonna say, check all the passat forums for a 16v being broken. Good luck with the search, if it fails, you can always fit megasquirt!

You can buy them new too but they're not cheep... why not try giving stealth or The Phirm a call to see if they can source one?

 

In many ways you'd be better off going for a stand alone injection system (like megasquirt) and get rid of the standard set up all together as (IMO) it's cr4p and a royal PITA when it goes wrong...

 

Best of luck whatever you do :)

My mate is buyin a 2.0 16v passat engine and puttin it in his mk2

 

Will the meterin head etc be the same as the corrado??? I would have thought so???

 

I'll have a word with my mate and im sure he'll let you have it for a reasonable price, dont want to see a rado scrapped over somethin as small as this

Rob Heath if you could mate that would be great , if its a Type G KE Motronic system then it will fit , part no on the unit should be 04 38 101 039 and theres 2 sensors on the sides of the unit , thanks buddy heres to hoping :)

Megasquirt is a DIY Fully Electronic Engine management! A sort of shareware for engines!

 

Should be pretty easy to do as the 9A already has the crank position sensor, just need a throttle Position Sensor and your 1/2 way there!!!

lottysvdub, can you get me the VW part number? My local VW specialist has a supplier that might be able to help.
