I thought I would start looking into the 2H motor that is/might be included in the re-alignment of the VW's in FSP. I bought a brand new Bentley for the 85-93...
The Cadillace Northstar V-8 has been using cylinder deactivation for years. I don't know whether it's for fuel economy or to prevent overheating, though. By...
... At the time this came up, I was skeptical that such a big change would not have resulted in an engine code change. The example I cited was the difference ...
Interesting you mention that about overheating. About six years ago, a drunk woman in a new Northstar Caddy grazed my winter-beater 16v Scirocco and absolutely...
Hello all My roommate has an '81 Scirocco & wants to put vented, sloted rotors on up front. Stocks are solid discs. I've done this upgrade to a Golf GL & all...
Regarding CP's sighting of Isuzu I-mark diesel: Awww, c'mon, is that thing even turbocharged?? - Jake (Now AKA "Married-Man") ... campaign an Isuzu ... ...
if you get rotors and pads that fit a rabbit GTI it will work with no problem. the vented pads are just thinner to allow room for a thicker disc. Quinn...
There are different calipers! Older small-pad calipers and newer big-pad ones. Don't recall the manufacturers but you definitely want the later, big-pad...
I just got an 85 scirocco with major project questions. The motor is no good and I don't know about the trans. I wanted a winter project and I never owned a...
... with a carb? <<< Sure, a 2nd gen Scirocco, with a carb, uh for autox... did you want to go fast? What class are you in? How/why is the wiring messed up?...
Of course you can :) Carbs are great! - as long as you never have to pass any state inspections. But honestly, if you sit down with your trusty Bentley Manual...
Taka has not run the Blue car at all this year. Since he is now a Drift Star, he has done very little Autoxing. I've only seen him once or twice at events...
Basicly, a friend and I went about 100 miles north and trailered back this car. When we got into my driveway the reality of what a major overhaul I was about...
That's true but IIRC, the '81 Slorocco already has the larger calipers. The test is to look at the pads - if the pads are rectangular, they're the old-style...
Ah. Hmm I see. well...if you feel energetic, you can use a lot of the parts out of the 16V like the fuel dist, alt, fuse panel (I suspect was the 8V's previous...
I ran across the following ad on Gulf Coast Autocrossers website, and thought I'd pass it along. I don't know when the ad was placed, or anything about the...
thanks all on the advice about putting vented rotors on an '81 scirocco. ...now that i think of it: often enough parts are listed as "rabbit/jetta/scirocco"; ...
Underneath a Slorocco IS a Rabbit or Jetta I as they share the same floor pan so the wheelbase and steering geometry is the same. CG is a different story...
... Yes. Same pan. ... More or less yes. They are the same as for the relation to the rack and tie-rods but different in the steering column to the rack. Power...
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to drive in the dry? Yeah, me too. Kansas Region had a test n tune event last Saturday where we ran this year's ...
I believe the 8v undercurrent has a page where you can download it... http://www.thepaty.plus.com/8v/ Bryan Fort McMurray, AB 81 Volkswagen Scirocco...
It's called ETKA, so your searches might be coming up blank b/c of the misspelling. I've seen it on Ebay. It'd be a big download, but maybe try one of the...
... Yup, working with Art Kathe @ Catalyst Racing, a BMW/VW/Audi repair shop, REALLY could've used the schematic when trying to describe the 90d elbow fitting...
It's great that the ETKA downloaded without any special drama BUT when I loaded it, the Audi section specifically skips my newest commuter car - the V8 - ugh....
Hi all, While visiting my local junkyard, I found a complete and non-wrecked Subaru XT-6. Anybody want the power steering pump? I can probably go pull it in...
Hey guys, I've been working on a brake system upgrade for my car. The brake feel on my car SUCKS. Just ask Jinx Jordan...he wouldn't shut up about it at the...
