Timing seems to be fine... Once it gets up above 2000 rpm it runs smooth but way off on power. We're going to check fuel injectors next.. Anything else? ... ...

Geoff moved about 6 months ago. CP, is he still on this list after the move? --Kevin H. _____ From: vwautox@yahoogroups.com [mailto:vwautox@yahoogroups.com]...

... Some of the A2 knuckles actually have the caliper carrier cast into the knuckle itself. The caliper slider pins screw right into the knuckle and the brake...
All the A1 9.4" brakes, just like the 16V 10.1", also had separate brackets/adapters/carriers to mount the caliper to the knuckles. Some of the A2 knuckles...
G'Day Folks, As I may have mentioned in an earlier post, I've recently purchased a 1985 VW Jetta. I would like to get this setup to be both a good Daily...
