Shoestring Golf??

[c-issler]

Hi guys. I've been contemplating an upgrade to my daily driver as my lil' AE92 Rock & Rolla is getting long in the tooth (245,000+). Have a budget of five figures or thereabouts and want to keep some for the long ignored '76 Mk1. I'm impressed with the amount of love these Seats get and have seen a couple on carpoint.com that might be OK.
Questions? Are 2L 8V Toledo lumps Golf compatible? Is it worth purchasing a Seat of any kind with a view to making a BrundleGolf creation down the track? I know how Loon feels about this. Valver I'm sure feels pretty good about it too. Do any Seats have 2L 16V engines in them? Are ECU and wiring swappable? Should I just buy a Cordoba and enjoy it? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

where are you located ?

In Geelong, Victoria.

the 16v engines are in ibiza cupra gti
also in the Toledo GT

my car (Toledo GLX) has the 2.0L 8v engine and is much more common
across the board for the cordoba and ibiza's

i'd imagine you can pop one into a golf, Isn't it Valver? (sorry if im wrong) who put the seat block into that mk1?

although you could join the Toledo minority

It's all pretty much the same and nearly everything is mix and match

They are mostly Mk3 and Mk2 Parts from the VW Parts bin.

Ibizas are 1.4 single point injected or 2L GTI Multipoint

Cordobas are Mostly 1.8 Singlepoint, exactly same as CL Golf 3. Some would be 2L Multipoint, same as Mk3 Golf GL

1999 Cordobas also came in 1.6, with the engine from the POLO

Toledos are 1.8 Singlepoint or 2L Multipoint

The singlepoint injection is simple and rarely breaks, reliable and good for cold starts in the morning. Feels a bit soft to my GTI heart, but the Mrs Likes them

In Sydney you can pick up good Cordys or Beezas for $3000-$4000 and the same mechanicals in a Golf 3 Body will still cost you $6000-$7000.

Toledos seem pretty rare, and have a Golf 3 dash, not the Polo dash as used in the Cordoba and Ibiza.

5 Speed manual box is same as Golf, I dont like the Autos.

Buy one, SEATs are Great.
