Welcome to the forum.

Nice cars, drive well. They come carbed or injected.

I think they're supposed to be better than golfs?? Basically the same car if i'm not mistaken. As people have said on here about K-Jet and Digi, K-Jet being more orientated to performance, the Scirocco continued to use K_Jet, even afetr the Golfs have been changed. Suggests to me they were trying to keep it more performance orientated. Can't be bad right??!!

If your interested i found this about Sciroccos mostly, but featuring all the VW's. Interesting for all of you? http://website.lineone.net/~dr.dub/

As far as i know all scala's and gtx's are injection.
The scirocco is based on the mk1 golf floorplan, so basically you are getting a mk1 golf 1.8 gti.
Very good value for money  ;)

From ones I was looking at a while ago (pre-snapped timing belt!) you get a lorra lorra motor for very little cash.

Not trying to put you off it or whatever, but theres a scirocco Storm in the for sale forum. I'm led to believe they are better? Worth considering perhaps?
