What did you do to your VW/AUDI today?

[eyums]

new wheel bearings.

[+Waldo+]

sparkplugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, maybe do an induction service. Those are all things to check.

thank you sir

Another thing is to watch how you drive. Typically when someone gets a new car they tend to drive ti easier. Once they get used to how the car handles and the power without knowing they will start to drive the car harder.


i know this isnt always true but you would be suprised to notice that most of us do this.

still tried thinking of a solution to my boost surge. its getting annoying.

[+Waldo+]

i think i was driving it worse when i 1st got it lol, now i have just come to terms with its slowness. i agree that this may be a factor but it is such a sharp decline and so rapid that i think something else has changed

ill see what i can do, hopefully my rack comes in tommorow though to cheer me up

Yeah no point driving the 2.0 hard, it barely moves the car.

[Garrett]

is the 2.0 that bad? how would it compare to a 88 GTI with the 16v 1.8?

[+Waldo+]

i cant compare the 2.0 to alot in the vw world because im pretty new, but YES is it very very slow

there is not difference between cramming the throttle to the floor or barley easing onto it, it just plain does not move. i think any caravan getting on it 40% could kill me to 60 with me WOT lol...

the mk2 weights roughly 1000lbs less than a mk4 and the 16v makes about 20hp ish more than the 2.0. You do the math.

got my yakima rack on tonight!

waiting on my brother to finish the graffiti on the front fairing though pix when done

[eyums]

planning to lower my beetle this weekend. (hopefully)

[theSLOWone]

[+Waldo+]

good shit. Hopefully this fixes your surge issue. Here in a month or 2 send them another email to get another and hold onto it incase the ring breaks again.


or better yet down the road get a DV that requires no maintenance.
