Hi,  I read that stuff too, but I understood that he said the 16V head 
was a poor design from a high performance point of view. I guess that 
when VW makes an engine they have to consider what is reliable and economical
from an every day use point of view.Maybe VW could have done better I 
sure can't tell  :)  But hey, I'd like even a stock 16V in my car

MY 0.03 ( 2 cents american in canadian $$ )  HAHA
