![]() You remember the VW ad campaign - "If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen"? Why did that disappear so quickly? ![]() I'm not saying anything about the reliability of a VW but the Advertising Standards Agency won't allow untruths, porky pies, misleading adverts and so on. I know what conclusion i drew..........

![]() Lost count of the number of ignition switches i've had to renew on those posh VWs aka Porsches not to mention a plethora of other electrical faults. Mechanically the older ones are better than ~mid 90s onwards as they were built to a specification rather than a price and didn't have a 100k mile life expectancy. They're not worse than the French stuff but that isn't saying much to be honest! ![]() The best German cars are Mercs but, like all other manufacturers from the mid-late 90s onwards, built everything to a price rather than a standard so they're not really any better than anything else, just the price tag makes you think that.

That's an insult to dogs everywhere Steve!
![]() My biggest question is "WHY??????" It would have been so much easier to drop in a Cosworth or even a Pinto and then turbo that, both would have given more power than a stock B230FT or even a Cologne V6 with K-Jet (~160bhp) but the listing claims 2 bar boost which if my barely-awake-maths works is 29psi. That's nearly 4 times standard boost of 8psi. Yes, it'll go well but how long before the rods make a bid for freedom through the block? ![]() Best thing to do with that would be to extract the red block, fit a 1.6CVH (like it's registered as having) and matching box, get your friendly local painter to give it a blowover and put it back on the bay. Then sell/use the red block in a Volvo - or maybe a Dolomite............. but do the job properly! ![]()
