    Hey mate,

    Sounds like your ISV might need a clean. Get yourself some carby cleaner and throttlebody spray and that should do the trick!

    I think your plug is missing the metal clip that holds it on.

    Hi guys,
    I am back! I tryed my car today for the first time with the 2.0lt motor, and I can see a big diference. There is more torque in low revs and more power. It still needs fine tuning but its working OK. If any of you guys want to do a conversion to 2.0lt, I can give you information on the process and parts needed.
    Now, I have one more question:
    I remember WV had recall for heating core, factory install bypass switch on heating core hoses. Anyway, my switch is blocked and doesn't work. I removed it and connected the hoses straight to the heating core. I want to know if anybody has experienced this also? If so, can you please advise me on a better alternative.

    Thanks, Braco.
