Re: have a 2.0 to swap, but from an 04 beetle? need help...

Well I do want more power, I can't even keep up with a civic lol, but I'm at 190k and it burns some oil, has some oil pressure issues but nothing major, and this 2.0 only has 66k on it. It's mostly just wanting a faster engine with less miles and less to worry about mechanically.

Re: couple of issues on new cabby, not too familiar? it whines??

Thanks for the quick response. It is not losing any coolant as far as i can tell, but I will try the thing with the glove. The whine is not coming from the rear of the vehicle, it sounds like it is coming directly from the engine. No smoke from the exhaust, however while it sits in one spot and idle...
