Julie!
 I am disappointed in you!
You failed to recognize my post as a jab at the 8-valvers on the list!
Aaron isn't even sure which  engine he has!  I certainly would not get on his case for having one engine or the other when neither of us knows what he has.
...didn't you see the smiley-face at the end of my sig?

  Larry, isn't that a bit biased? Get a new member and right away your on his 
  back. Sheesh.
  Welcome to the list Arron. You have a few people over the pond that can help 
  you, probably not far froim you either!

  The 8v is an incredible engine, my last car did 370,000 miles with the 
  original engine sooo... The step to a MKI 16v was a blast, but a pain as 
  well as many on the list will chip in  :)

  Again, have fun, drive safe and enjoy the car!
