Yeah, they are great car. Replacement parts are still very cheap even from well know brands like Bosch, Hella etc etc..
I've never heard of a Heron engine. I know it's an 1.6 engine with the engine code EG, original French car.
After doing some research the Heron engine is just the cylinder head.? Looks like it does have bigger valves and general flows a lot beter

Love Mk1 VWs... is the 1.6 the Heron motor? That was the only one I never got to experience. I even got to the point of building a pretty awesome 1.6 with big valves, porting cam and more but it never found its way into a car before I sold it to a Formula Super Vee owner

Last weekend we went from Belgium all the way to Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK to attend a yearly VW Golf mk1 meeting. My uncles went with his 1.6 GTI and my brother and I with our 1.1
Even with more than twice the power of our 1.1, my uncle had some times trouble keeping up with us on the windy B-roads. He said he might have more power but I have more guts. lol
When we were headed home I took a couple of rolling shots out of the windows of both Golfs. Turned out okay.

That is far more attractive than the slithering creatures that actually lurk parking lots.Leave a comment:

Always heard truck stop prostitutes called lot lizards. Seen this or similar decals on trucks.

Ha. The only time I hear of people being called lizards (outside of strange conspiracy theories and the old TV show "V") is used car lot sales man/woman. "Oh, look at those lot lizards, so desperate for a sale, and way too tan in a sun bleached cheap suit"Leave a comment:
