Re: Need help fast. (more info)

Josiah is right, I do have that damn auto.  3 speed autos have trouble
pulling over 100 km per hour.  Sucks as a courier on the highway.  As for
other stuff,  it just had a tune-up at the local VW dealership, and they
said it was working great.  Weird thing is it seems to run sluggish and
worse mileage now.  Dunno.  They did an oil change, tested compression,
changed the plugs ...  I hope they didn't change the K&N even though I told
them not to.  I should check that.  Anyway, Maybe I should get timing done
next.  I've been planning to get a G-grind and adjustable cam, so maybe now
is the time.  Any further advice?

Mike
