Vw Or E30

[CJ7]

my own experiences show me that, at least up here in the PNW, the VW crowd is a step above the others. I was into honda/acura when I was young, ended up with a few nissans and that "crew" drove me away soooo damn fast. there are always some "smug" or "a-hole" crews in any type of car crowd tho ... anyway, I went from VW to BMW totally on accident, literally. I wrecked my '06 Rabbit and was looking for a MKII Jetta coupe and stumbled upon this '84 318 that was just freakin immaculate and all original 8-)

their old fuel ejection sucked some major balls though!

Is the fuel ejection program some kind of proprietery system on VWs? What exactly was wrong with their fuel ejection?

Is it comparable to the charcoal canister? If so, what could possibly go wrong? Does it leak?

the vw fuel injection wasnt a prob. its the diagnostic part of it is what sucked, you cant just plug into them and get your p0xxx you have to do tests to determine the problem, however the fuel injection its self was very good, even the digi set up was good, you just need to understand it,

CIS was OK, simple to work with, pretty easy to tune, you just had to learn about it

CIS-E even easier to tune, had a knock box that would pull back the timing so you could give it 8 DEG (i think ) initial timing which really woke them up, you could also use a piggyback enrichment module.

CIS-E Motronic the next step in the CIS evolution same as above, but run at a higher pressure, had some limited diag abilities with a reader, chip tunable.

all the CIS systems were great for performance. CIS =constant injection system. porsche and volvo used the same system for ever even on their race cars

DIGIFANT was vw's attempt at making their own FI system, i worked ok for stock DD driving, sucked for performance driving/tuning. it was also pulsed injection

Yeah, I was initially going to get pissed, but the post, though dated, was relevant.

back from the dead eh?

Gotta be BMW over VW for sure, although several years ago my answer would have been much different

I used to be a huge VW guy, had a bone stock mark 3 jetta i bought for my first car when i was 16, rebuilt the motor/trans, boosted it, lowered it, re-upolhstered the interior etc etc, learned alot of what i know about working on, fixing, and modifying cars.

I Used to hate BMWs for the stereotypes that surrounded the brand, was die hard for VWs and the quirkiness they brought, seemed to fit my personality better, or so i thought

this is when i lived in NY, and i always had winter/beater cars, so i never drove the jetta in the winter. Well it just so happened i picked up my old e30 as one of my beaters, which is what brought me to the dark side

i still have a soft spot for VW scene, although I just got back from a VW show in Vegas, cant say im happy in how the younger generation was behaving, a lot of high school-ish attitude, burnouts/revving/douche-ness at a relatively chill show ive been going to for several years. That crap is always there, just seemed a lot more prevalent this year, idn maybe im just getting old lol

the old jetta

Both mk1 and the e30 have there place on my drive
Both are solid cars

I sit on the fence on this one

A friend of mine had an MK3 golf, but once he started to find oil INSIDE the electrical wires- the time was up and he sold it and now is riding around in an ETA.

I have a '08 B7 A4 (AKA an expensive AWD Passat) and I hate it. 1qt oil for every 1,200mi.
