i did the short shift kit with the weighted rod and love it but what made it even better was replacing the shifter itself with one out of a scirocco, it brings the shifter right into your hand and you don't have to reach much for 3rd and 5th because it curves towards the driver more.

i have an 84 scirocco that i am parting out, it has new struts in the front and the springs have been cut slightly along with new strut bearings. i have read that your not supposed to use A1 rabbit springs on the cabby's, does the same apply for the scirocco? and if i did use them what would the res...

well the problem still exists but not quite as bad, it still sputters when warming up if you press the gas slowly and if you try to hit it harder it wants to die, but it isn't as bad and the problems goes away quicker. so i am still chasing my tail.

think that i may have solved the mystery, the spring that holds the air plate at the bottom was stuck above the clip leaving the plate to far up. i fixed it so the air plate is in the proper position then re-adjusted the air/fuel mixture and got it to run good. i let it cool down for a few hours and...

just ordered the tester, i plan on doing a motor swap on my 81 anyway so it might come in handy, even though i will be putting in a 1.8 from a scirocco that currently runs and drives good. so if you know anybody that needs parts from an 84 scirocco i have them, all but the rear of the car (was ass e...

i haven't checked the pressure, but so far replacing the WUR 3 times hasn't seemed to change much. originally the oxs sensor was one of the problems, it was shorted, i did replace it. i did replace 3 of the injector seals (haven't got to the 4th one yet, hard to reach).

just pulled the spark plugs, they are bosch platinum (with the 4 prongs) and they are blackish, not completely fouled but i am wondering if they where that way because of the problems it was having (bad oxs sensor). guess i will try cleaning them first. what plug does everybody recommend for the 1.8?

so here is the latest update, i have checked for vacuum leaks, re-adjusted the idle and mixture (w/duty cycle meter), so far i am on my 3rd WUR, replaced the cold start injector. today i replaced the lambda coolant temp switch. here is what it does still; starts right up idles good hit the gas and i...

sometimes we don't look at the smallest things, i haven't pulled the spark plugs yet, but it hasn't given me a big reason to do so. it's 84 and sunny today so i decided to drive it for my weekly grocery shopping, it ran great, nice acceleration, good idle, and no misses. i did realize that i need to...

it has a full size spare, so i guess that means it has no in tank fuel pump. one thing i noticed yesterday is that it looks like there is a drip coming from the bottom of the intake manifold on one of the runners, i don't think it is all oil. i am going to check to make sure there isn't a gasket pro...

the freq valve is working, i think my timing may be off a little bit, i need to find out if i should remove the vacuum advance or not when setting the timing, the bentley isn't very clear about it. i know that for most other cars you do but with a volkswagen you can never be to sure. When i got this...

Hello all, i am having a problem with my 1984 cabby, i will try to post pics of both of my cabbys, it starts right up and idles nice (around 900 rpm) but if you try to press on the gas it will die, unless you press the gas very lightly and baby the rpm's up and even then it will sputter. once the ca...
