I also have one of these things- an '84 Scirocco2 chassis
with an '87 16v engine in it- the mechanic and I, after the original
owner's comments, figure it has about 60K miles on it. It idles
roughly- could be any number of things- but runs strong. When I got
it, there wasnt an Oxy. sensor, nor a knock sensor, and the rear trans
mount was a piece of rusted solid metal! It ran leaner than anything
and was certainly fast as hell, it had no seats in it except for a tiny
little race bucket which my cat now sleeps in.
