righty oh ive been to the scrappys yesterday and there was 2 mk2 squarebacks in they look to have different carbs to my own polo coupe s. is there much difference in the 2 or will they give a slight increase int the power zones as they belong on a heavier car or am i just askin randem nonsense?

there should be a pierburg carb for your unless you find a weber replacement which would be a bargain.

what year is your polo?

The 1L and 1.1 engines had pierburg 1b3 carbs iirc this is different to the coupe S carb which is a 2b3 and no it wont give you a performance boost but it will make the engine run like a hamster on dope.

Unless you find a webber (also found on 1300 mk1 golfs) it isnt worth taking the carbs of anything else.
The 32DMTR webber is a straight swap (with an adaptor plate) onto the standard inlet manifold and will give 5-6Bhp approx.
