New Scirocco Owner -- Some advice if you please

["John Karpus" <jkarpus@earthlink.net>]

    I had the fortune of aquiring a very nice '83.  Couple questions for the
list.

1)  The engine has a tapping valve that subsides after about 15 minutes of
driving,  problem is I only work 'bout a mile from my job so the engine
never really warms up to that temp.  How nessary is it to correct that
problem?

2)  The transmission seems to have a mild grind into second gear, more of a
"feel" than a sound, when cold.  The tranny is also very slow to downshift
into first.  The car almost has to be stopped for it to accept first gear.
I seem to remember this being normal for VW trannys but not sure.  Is this a
snycro problem?  Low level of tranny oil?  My tranny is on it's last legs?
:(

3)  Under the driver seat running towrds the e-brake there is a cable with a
connector on it, but not connected.  I cannot locate it's mate.  Is this
connector for the seat belt, e-brake, tranny or other?

4)  Anybody from the list live in Monmouth County NJ?

thanks   Johnny......
