thanks guys, its the OBD2 engine, (which i think is 24v, the car comes with a spare head, so i'll count the valves when i get it home :wink:), and its pushing around 200bhp, which really isnt that impressive. But that dont matter, its the sound that i bought it for!

As said no pics till its on my drive!

its an H plate 1990. with all the electrics and recaro interior, none of that ugly rainbow stuff :grin:!

Oh and how can a mk2 16v be 2 valves per cylinder. Bloody know it all mk2 owners.  :lipsrsealed:

That in reference to this?

2 valves per cylinder like most VW engines up until the late 90's :wink:



Correct.

Generalisations rock.

I meant as against a Rover for example, where most engines are 4 valves per cylinder :tongue:

Rainbow all the way lad,  congratulations on new wheels but rainbow is the of process of thought,  even though you have a VR6    :drool: :drool: :drool:


If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?
