I have been offered a fuel injection system for a 1600 VW engine.

Anyone had any experience with these??

Nope - not me!
I would love inj, but I'd be a little weary of being 'offered' injection - I'd be asking why!

the fuel injection system for the vw is good while it is good but when the computer starts playing up it can be a pain in the neck, also hard to find another computer. i have 2 fuel injection systems lying around and are in good working order.

there are t1 FI systems which are factory standard..

Not on Australian VW Beetles, there weren't.

Late US Beetles yes, but not here. Aussie-made Beetles had Solex carbs right to the end in 1976.

I've got a '76 Cab [US import] running standard injection, unleaded, and aircon. I've had the car for over a year, and it hasn'tmissed a beat [have I just jinxed myself?].

I've read that the injection makes the 1600 sluggish [could it be any less?], but have no problems on keeping highway speeds.....just a slug away from the lights.

Squiz.....
