'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Yes, yes it did. I loved the one where they went to a park to have a picknic and it was some waste land covered in rocks with what looked like an out house in the back round.

Well, I took the turbo apart, ad its nice n clean inside.

I have a book as thick as my hand full of receipts from the previous owner (a company) which seemingly covers every tome they so much as put air in the tires, and no turbo was bought.

OH right, the purpose of this thread...

That car, from the firewall to the radiator, just seems to be royally screwed. It's been tampered with, forced to run in terrible conditions... mistreated etc.
So many things to check, look over, replace... what a head ache. I feel so sorry for your friend. I hate it when VW lemons make people hate VW...
why did VW ever decide to make almost all their cars in mexico? they are all lemons..

Just in case those of us with our pukka german built VW's feel too smug, my J reg (1991) Mk2 GTD with  German chassis numbers, has various random bits (rear brake drums for example) stamped MEXICO. WTF? ::)

Mexi stuff ain't all bad.  Could be China. :)

I don't think it's that it's made in Mexico for the newer cars, it's that they are, well, newer cars.
My buddy's a4 jetta TDI has a "Inspected By Pedro" sticker underhood, which is the
source of much junk talking. :)
