Mk5 R32 is worth looking at, but yea getting old these days.

You could get an 8V S3 for that budget (rather than an 8P). I have mine for sale currently...  ;D

Mk1 Golf - Jetta - Scirocco / 1992 Golf Cabriolet ECU
Last post by veenewb - April 03, 2024, 09:54:08 AM
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would know where I could potentially find an ECU for my 1992 Golf Cabriolet?
Local or international, as long as it works. :)

Thank heaps,
T.

"relatively low-mileage" ??? That's barely run in!

I wish the best in the sale. Even at 29k, my wife wouldn't let me.

vacuum leaks you're mentioning would certainly do that too.

Yeah you can shoot me a message on phone as well. Just want to update you to the latest APR software.

Just updating, after cleaning away the oil as best I could from the piston area of the diverter valve and sticking a rag into the cavity in the turbo that it mounts into to remove the small puddle of oil, I put it back together and all seems fine again.
Although there was oil leaking through the electrical connector, it didn't appear to be on the actual metal part of the plug itself and as such I didn't clean that part with any cleaner.

FYI I have also replaced the hoses from the front PCV with braided silicone ones and replaced the seals in the vacuum pump to fix a leak there too.

Fairly simple to do if you're comfortable with tools in your hand. I picked up a kit (follower and o-ring) from Harry's.

Did the PCV at the same time.
