Agreed, I just drove it down to work and back to drop off a project order to give it a good run - started first time (with a bit of choke for good measure) even though it hasn’t been driven for a fortnight at least.
My Weber cost £350ish to buy and then I had the garage fit it, which was another two or three hundred so probably works out about the same! The original Pierberg was not a great bit of kit in my experience.

Used to have one - the weber conversion on mine was about £600 in 1999 - transformed the running and better MPG. The engineering in these cars is pretty bulletproof and they're part of a generation of German auto quality that's sadly no longer there (but VW are quick to talk it up).
GLWS!
