New car..New problems haha Whats missing from my Pierberg?

Hello and Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

After looking around we eventually ended up buying a mk2 scirocco again as a runner and the pierberg is running poorly as they usually do. We drove all t he way to milton keynes for it and as usual it was not as described but is a lovely starting point of a shell for 1300 quid as its solid below and only needs a shoot to tidy it up long term.

 

It has a bit missing from the side of it but i am unsure what it is, It 99% sure its part of the choke unit but i am hoping someone on here could enlighten me who has messed with them more :)

 

I will get some pictures up of the car as soon as i can but sadly its gone a little pink again after its first wash since we got it.

 

Anyway i have a picture here so whats missing haha

 

Sorry the pictures are not the right way up but for some reason the resize has rotated them too.

 

Thanks

Mick

Looking at your photo's it appears part of the auto choke or the housing for the auto choke is missing, I think you've already mentioned that your Scirocco has a Pierberg 2E2 carburettor fitted as standard.

 

Here's a link below to a Pierberg carb not a 2E2 but it's of a 2E3 which is similar.

Also a bit of info here regarding having your Pierberg carb repaired,

it shows a rough break down of what they replace.

Thanks for the information pal :) I would of rebuilt the pierberg myself if i could have

 

The pierberg is gone and loaded in my trebuchet haha

 

No parts were available for them beyond seal kits and people were asking rediculous money for full used units, so I ended up putting a brand new weber kit on it to get it running better asap.

 

It was unbelievable how many vacuum pipes etc were removed with the pierberg. Its much tidier under the bonnet now and far more simplified.

 

Absolute doddle to fit and as a result it drives brilliant now.Albeit a bit more thirsty.

 

My only really picky niggle is a slight hesitation as the second butterfly kicks in when flat to floor accelerating. But beyond that a million miles nicer to drive
