Golf GTI Mk2

[Oneofthegreats]

I've been reading through this thread & I'm amazed at the amount of stupid info & dribble on here & I could just about quote the entire thread & point out all the mistakes & missinformation I've read.

But I won't, cause obviously none of you will listen, especially the ones with no mechanical experience or background & will go on choosing the info that best suit's them from there vast mechanical knowledge & experience.

I will say though, that if the ECU's are all the same but the part #'s/prefix's are different. What does that tell you......

There different & there different for a reason! Argue all you like, I don't care & wake up to yourself.

Have you ever thought about different climate's, condition's, whether the car has a Oxy. sensor, no oxy. sensor, has it been retrofitted, does the car have a cat. convertor, has a cat. convertor been retrofitted?

Also Digi doesn't have the learning capabilties as has been stated & if you drive it hard it won't learn to deal with the demand's!

It's all a fixed map preset by the factory after million's of hour's & dollar's of testing.

Self learning didn't come about till the very late 90's & I'm sure the VW's didn't have that technology till the mk4 so late 90's it is.

If you say the K-jet is crap, & fell on it's face after 100km/h, then it wasn't setup properly to start with sorry. Just cause you drop a name & take it somewhere doesn't mean they'll get it right.

Did you check the part #'s of the K-jet gear? How do you know they didn't fit 1.6L K-jet gear?

Just thought I'd throw this in for good measure. If some of you think the mk2 is the most significant golf ever made. Pull your head's in & do some research.

The mk1 brought VW back from the brink & if it wasn't for the mk1, VW would have ended all together full stop!

So what is the most sigificant model now?

Also, the mk1 outsold the mk2 too! haha.

Also I don't look at them as collector's car out here at all & I don't think they ever will be.

What Aust. history do they have out here? None!

Just for the record, I'm aware that those Digi ECU's dont "learn" I shoulda stated that my car goes better because the rubbish that builds up in the exhaust system got fried and blown out, and freed up... I think...? I'm not stoopid i swear. Honest! Hahaaa

This can easily be bypassed/ignored in the ROM's programming code

What Aust. history do they have out here? None!

1. A lot of the info has come from people with a mechanical background

2.I actually said or meant to say the last 1 or 2 prefix change RANDOMLY all over the world, even with the same occuring in the UK & US as what appears in Aus?
If the ECU is designed for a countries specific climate, which one did they choose for Aus, a county that has an extremly variable climate or did they use different ones eg Hobart or Darwin?

3.I regards to kjet, personally I prefer it to kjet as an overall package for a variety of reasons, that I will not go into as it is clear that lack the intellectual capacity required.

4.As for your opinion in regards to mk2 not being wort a mention, well thank god it is only an opinion & I think you would be out of sync with a lot of people around here.

5. As for Australia having no history, where the hell does that come from?

How does 60,000 years & counting grab you. I proudly live in Bulungjulung country, which is part of the oldest surviving civilisations in the world today.
Whats your history???????????????????????

Further more I think you should go & wash the sand out of your speedo's, then go put your head back where it belongs
Just because you have had a bad day or whatever you should'nt come on here & start abusing people because they said something that ticked you off

[Jarred]

the history was in regards to the mk 2's history in australia. ie, Ford XY gtho phase 3, torana XU1/A9X etc, these cars have history in Aust, and thier values will continue to rise.

The mk 2 golf never won bathurst..

I come back from holiday and see this thread. Honestly, the OP came on here most likely expecting more help than what we offered.

Australian Spec cars are what were sold here, limited OS spec cars are here and each have benefits.

I think we all take our opinions down to the back shed with a cold beer or a lemonade and think about our next post.
