Will this carb fit my polo?

I think the 32 TL carbs were the manual choke version of the 32 TLA carbs fitted to the later mk2 1043cc polos. it looks very similar to to autochoke version, but the throttle cable linkage is different so might need adapting. if you can get hold of a 32tla carb and want a manual choke, there is a conversion kit on ebay

also bearing in mind that the carb on ebay if for a nova, they jetting on the carb may not be suited to the polo engine.

if your carb mount is difefferent, looks like these may fit

many years ago I used to have the stalling at traffic in winter, and after a bit of playing about managed to cure it by playing with the air filter housing.
As standard the a filter housing has a warm and cold air intake, and a flap that controls which source of air is used. the flap is controlled by the vacuum in the inlet manifold, so when the trottle is opened and the vacuum is reduced, the engine uses cold air. it as also temperature operated, so if there is sufficient vaccum to operate the flap (idle and low engine speeds) and the engine bay is cold, the engine will use the warm air from the exhaust manifold.

so my solution was to disconnect the vacuum from the flap and direct the warm air trunking from the exhaust to where the cold air intake on filter housing should be. thats how I used to run it in winter, and in summer I'd just remove the warm air trunking from the exhaust manifold.




and my latest version for winter
