The 8v distributor runs off of the intermediate shaft along with the oil pump. If it jumped a tooth or two the spark timing would be off. The 16v dizzy runs off the cam. Does it have A/C? On Dec 24, 2015, at 12:22 PM, damac2004 wrote: I'm new to these cars. I got one of these a few months

High pressure oil buzzer? In my twenty plus years of owning and working on Mk2 16V VW's, this is the first time I've heard of the existence of a high pressure oil alarm. At least with the 2.0 liter Motronic models, there isn't even an audible low pressure oil pressure alarm. Only a red idiot lamp,

I'm new to these cars. I got one of these a few months ago and planned on using it as a project to restore for fun. I have been driving it as is because it worked. I do have to get it smogged and clean up some neglect but it was getting me around ok with no funky noises. Yesterday I came off

Once and only once I fit myself, 3 big dudes and our snowboards for the 1/2 hr trip to our local ski slopes. They complained all the way home about the exhaust noise, babies. Another time, I bought one of those K-Mart bike racks, it didn't like the shape of the GTi's hatch. Only 1 of the bikes

I had a Yakima rack that I could install on the roof to carry large objects. Still wasn't a great solution. I once carried a 3/4" melamine 4x8 sheet of wood. When I tried taking it down, it sheered off my fender mounted antenna. On another occasion, I dropped two roof mounted bikes onto the freew

That Harbor Freight trailer hitch sounds like a good option for the occasional haul of stuff. I forgot you had this thing. So wish I had a storage shed for something like this. I am not allowed to have a shed in my community. -Larry From: mk2-16v@googlegroups.com [mailto:mk2-16v@googlegroup

One of our cars is a Focus Wagon with the ztec 16v engine. It can haul quite a bit of stuff especially when the rear seats are folded flat. In addition to that I have a trailer hitch on two of our cars for towing a 4x8 harbor freight folding trailer. The trailer folds up and is stored in my garag

As I recall, the largest item I was able to carry in my '92 GTI 16V was a new 27" CRT television in its full packaging. I may have had to fold down the rear seat and use bungy cords to hold the hatch down. That was prior to installing the Neuspeed triangulated rear stress bar. Once that was in, car

I find myself having to ask for favors to haul stuff around because all our cars are small. Today I had to throw out an old mattress and had to ask our lawn guy to take it to the dump for me. I am thinking that if I ever get my MK2 running again I might put a rack on it to be able to transport
