Scott.. I agree. I had a 12v VR6 in my 93 Passat GLX with roughly the same mods that I have on my 24V GLI. The GLI builds power all the way to the soft rev...
Even in Phoenix, with temps at 115 and pavement at 150, you very much want the thermostat in. In fact, VW does their hot weather testing a few miles south of...

Ian I have a complete understanding of the variable valve timing. It is a very cool system. It uses timing "adjusters" on the end of each camshaft. They...
Awesome information Scott! I wonder how many degrees of advance or retard are allowed via this system. It wouldn't take much... +-3º would be more than...

Two quick questions for those of you who are alignment savvy: I just bought new tires for my '94 GLX and had the car aligned today. I know that the rear of...
1. With the exception of syncro equipped models or the Eurovan, I believe most watercooled VW's have the rear torsion beam axle (not fully independent) and...
It would seem that if the rear camber were the problem, that the load on the rear would be the issue, if need be corrected with a sand bag or two over the rear...

Obviously if it shudders only when you brake, the front discs are not good, they are warped. The ABS light in the car will come on for most common ABS...

Bad Cam sensor? Bad crank sensor? Any codes? -Paul Hello, My friend has a 1990 Corrado with a 1995 VR6 engine in it. Not too long ago his vehicle completely...
I would suggest checking the camshaft position sensor as well. Since that engine is OBDII, I don't think you have a distributor, so the hall effect sensor...
