Hi,
I have a Weber 32TL gathering dust in my bedroom as i originally bought it to replace my pierburg 1B3. Now im getting to a point wher ei have time to do it and was wondering if it was possible to convert the 32TL (manual choke) into a 32TLA (auto choke).
If so, will the overall replacement of the carb help or hinder my polo's performance/fuel consumption
Cheers.
(PS. its an '88 1043cc Polo C)

I'd keep it as a manual choke, then, used correctly, you'd almost definatly see at least a slight increase in economy, depending on how well your pooberg is working.

Installed, lowered and looking good zombie. made a world of difference to the handling. Cheers!
As for the carb, i think i'll just get it installed, set up and leave it as a manual. See what happens.
Cheers guys.
PS Is it an easy DIY install job? with a bit of professional setting up of course?.............I havent driven or tinkered with a manual choke for nearly 10 years lol

yeah GTI 9-spokes always seem to suit squarebacks really well.
They looked totally wrong on my derby though.
