who does that?
Who uses two fuel pumps when 1 works fine?
Who makes a car where all 4 door handles break?
who makes an exhaust system with a cat, resonator, premuffler, and then muffler?
who uses wheel bolts instead of studs, so when it breaks you cant press it out of the rotor, you have to remove the rotor (getting out a small phillips screw that is rusted to peices) that holds the rotor on, and then drill and easy out the bolt?

I really hate VW. My sisters 99' Jetta has endless problems with suspension creaks and sqeaks, the AC clutch bearing failed, and the whole car is basically falling apart. Never mind that my sister is the most destructive force known to man aside from the thermonuclear bomb, but the 91 Celica she crashed and beat on never had half the problems.

I dont know why there is an ECM, on them, and I also dont know why they would put it in a spot that is supposed to channel water?p8ntman442 wrote:no love for the central pneumatic pump locking system???? why you hatin?
My ecm is under the wiper cowel as well. Why there is an ecm I dont know, its mechanical fuel injection and a manual transmission. with an older dist. and vacume advance it would only need it to throw codes from the o2 sensor.
My friend ditched the above Jetta for an 85 Jetta turbo Diesel, it doesnt have the power locks or windows, or an ECM even. He only drives it because of the good gas mileage, just turned 400,000KM before he parked it.

A lot of old engines are not cross-flow (AMC I6, Chevy Stovebolt 6, early Iron Duck, etc). It actually worked out in the days of carbeurettors because the exhaust could warm the intake manifold and prevent fuel puddling...
However, engines for performance use pretty much need to be cross flow in order to not compromise the port geometry for either exhaust or intake.

The chrysler 2.2 and 2.5L OHC used in the K cars were not crossflow either, the intake and exhaust were on the back of the head, made for easy servicing of stuff like the distributor and oil filter, the enging was tilted backwards too. But I would hate to work on one of those engines with a turbo, must be pretty tight there.
Also, all 4.0L I6 Jeep engines are not crossflow.

My friend/roommate drive a '95 Golf VR6. He's a VW nut. I forwarded him this thread...
VW built a concept car a year or so ago that was a 1900# mid engine roadster with TDI power... 130 HP from a 1.5 litre TDI. That car would have been a blast to drive and gotten 50 MPG... but it's gone the way of the Fiero and dodo bird.

My first car was an 85 Lebaron. Vinyl top and pleather seats were in excellent condition, but at the end it leaked out about a quart of transmission fluid every day.befarrer wrote:The chrysler 2.2 and 2.5L OHC used in the K cars were not crossflow either, the intake and exhaust were on the back of the head, made for easy servicing of stuff like the distributor and oil filter, the enging was tilted backwards too.

A guy I knew in Pensacola had built a turbo 2.4 entirely out of production Chrysler parts... he was ALL OVER the parts bin. He had it in a Neon and was tearing up local drag strips with it. Rumor had it that some Chrysler engineers came and talked to him about it... ~6 months later the SRT-4 comes out...befarrer wrote:The chrysler 2.2 and 2.5L OHC used in the K cars were not crossflow either, the intake and exhaust were on the back of the head, made for easy servicing of stuff like the distributor and oil filter, the enging was tilted backwards too.

The Chrysler TC by Maserati was a FWD car (available with the Getrag 284!) that used a turbo Chrysler 2.2 topped off with a twin cam 16V Maserati designed cylinder head. It was sweet. I've been thinking for a while that that combo would be a sweet engine for a kit car... an actual Maser powerplant...
There was also a Lotus designed 16V head for the Chrysler 2.2, but I don't know what used it...
