UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I've heard you can put a golf mk2 or mk3 gti afm and air box into the polo gt ? does this make any difference? I found much more golf afm on ebay and wanted to buy one because I lost my original

by the way fitting a K & N induction kit without a afm cause overfuelling? because my gt engine is overfuelling like crazing after the conversion even though I'm using a 1.0 5 speed gearbox and not the short ration gearbox orginally on the 3f engine?

Any suggestions welcome!!!

jeez, hey, what now?

how is fitting a different gearbox going to do anything to your fuel air mixture? come down off the sugar rush dude and ask again

i remember a fancy for golf air intake conversions about a year ago, not sure what happened on that front, it kind of fizzled.. think a few people round here have them though so keep asking. Don't think they're GTi ones however, just plain mk3 golf things.

doesnt the spring position need to be adjusted on the golf airbox if i remember correctly

as far as i know, mk2 golf gti airflow meters are a direct replacement for a mk3 gt one, however i think they tend to work better on some cars than others.main difference is a bigger bore i think.hardhitter will know for sure!

deathour, you saying you've just got a K&N on the end of the induction pipe with no AFM, how does that work???

i bought mine like this it ticks over badly, so put the afm and box back on runs well now just how the factory intended!!

yeah I had no afm for the last two weeks, only a k&n filter. it worked sort of because I bought a performance resistor off ebay and stuck it in the wires harness where it should have pluged into the afm. don't recommend doing that

yes think I just sorted out my overfuelling problem now, just fitted a golf atm with a K&N filter, had to adjust aload a things; spring inside the afm, co2 screw and the idelling screw on the throttle body.

Wouldn't have know what to do if I wasn't on this forum or porka, very useful sites.

Must of been running a rich mixture when I had the resistor in lol. But hopefully fuel consumption will be normal now, now I have the golf afm and tuned it to my satisfaction. idelling's good now because when I put the golf afm without any adjustments it was hunting very badly.

Had to lossen the spring inside the afm and adjust the co2 settings a bit. Might put up some pictures when I my card reader back.

pics would be good, I ve been thinking of a golf AFM for a while. I think there was also another way by puting the GT stuff in the golf |AFM, not sure thou

yeah you can fit the gt internals into a golf afm, thats what I've got in mine now, but once you know how to adjust a golf afm it works just as well as I've got a standard golf afm too.
