Airflow meter unit compatibility

[chezz]

Just a quick question for any technical boffins out there!Is the KV Airflow meter unit from a k-Jetronic (Component no.0438 120 210/034 133 353K)compatible with another meter unit from a different system i.e. KE111-Jetronic/KE-Jetronic or KE-Motronic.I can see no visual difference with the illustrations in Haynes, but that usually mean a Damn thing!

The airflow meter is about the only part on a K-jet which is unique to the application. The shape of the cone in which the air flap moves provides the fuelling 'map'.
An identical cone may be used for a different engine, but I doubt it.

Thanks Jim, Can anyone tell me what system was fitted to the '86 KV coupe quattro in that case please!

etka shows IMO two part numbers described as Air Flow Meter, dependant on chassis number

035 133 471 L >>85-G-144 745

and

035 133 471 E >>85-G-144 746

each without onboard computer

The fuel metering valve is coming up as numerous p/n's but not resembeling what you have posted.

I dont know if this helps you or not

It sure does Ian; it means that one from a CQ offered for a very reasonable price from a member of this forum, is regrettably not compatible

Thats only what etka says from an Audi stand point. It may well work. Try before you buy ??

If its the same configuration engine ie, both 2.2 Non turbo I cant see them being much different. you could always fit your funnel supposing you have got a old one of course...

What are you actully doing? I've got a KV engined GT sat on my back garden

Sorry about the delayed response Gazjen but I have been buried under my bonnet due to my water pump failure! Thank God I managed to borrow the crank locking tool 2084 and a bloody big torque wrench!Back to your question of what am I doing?I was hoping that changing the meter unit might bring about an improvement,relating to fuel consumption & smoothness at tickover, due to my previous problems with excessive consumption. If I could pick one up for the right price at least I could eliminate it from my endless list of possible causes.

That's the number from the little plate on the side of the unit. I have a spare 0438 120 185 / 035 133 353 AB which I was told by Ken Mills Injection is from a KV. Let me know if you're interested.

Assuming my funnel is compatible with the body and assuming that it should work then yes Tim!
