I had one fitted for about 6 months and only removed it recently for my 16 valve engine upgrade. Mine was fitted to a 2ltr 8valve tall block and I did have clearance issues with the steering rack so had to mess about with the engine mounts. They look and sound great but mine didn't quite fit on the ...

In the 80's k-jet was standard equipment on a few forced induction cars including Audis, Porsches, Volvos and probably some others. There are definitely some metering head/air flow meter combinations that you could use with a supercharger but I'm not sure how well standard scirocco items would work.

Got a spare camshaft that I removed from a 1.8i dx engine. The engine wasn't well due to a failed piston and I replaced it with a 2ltr unit. When I removed the cam I noticed some markings stamped into the end, TSR FR 22. I've assumed this is a fast road profile from TSR but I don't know for certain ...

I replaced my sick DX engine with an AGG out of an Audi 80. I bolted on my DX head using a steel 2ltr head gasket. The breather system is the main difference which may cause you a problem. I bought a 40mm core plug from my local motor factors which cured one of the problems and cut a piece of 2mm ...

One of the beauties of wiring on 80's cars is that it's quite simple. To make the warning bulb light up you need a live feed and an earth. To pinpoint the problem you need a test-lamp. You can buy one quite cheaply from your local accessory shop or make one using a bulb holder and bulb, some wires ...

Hi Mark, it's not unusual for aftermarket radiators to be thinner than the original 80's ones. It's partly because cooling technology has improved and partly because the aftermarket ones are not over-engineered in the way that the original vw ones are. If all the mounting points and hose outlets are ...

Every credit mate, I'm a big fan of rwd. What are you planning for the rest of the running gear? Has anyone else done a rwd rocco?

Hi b, Are you sure your engine is getting hot enough for the fan to kick in? If the temp gauge is sitting at halfway, that's exactly where VW intended it to be. The temp needs to be above half for the fan to start which only normally happens when you've been stuck in traffic for a while. It might be ...
