I know that the trans. is of the worst code "AWY"?
The speedo is off by 5MPH at 70MPH. I check the oil level all the time and does'nt use hardly any.

Define "bad"...

Your mileage probably stinks - once you go above 3K RPM the fuel:horsepower ratio starts getting crappy really fast...

It's great for getting up to highway speeds in a hurry but once you are there....

As far as I know the AWY only came in Golfs which didn't have tachs... I wonder why :lol:
