shail 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 So, my VR is off the road after 7 years of ownership. Bought a Mk4 1.8T to replace it.Although the Mk4 feels nippier than the VR, its just not the same. I miss the VR6 noise. I also miss the fact that my old 2.9 lump would not run out of steam and pull hard to three figure speeds. The Mk4 gets there, but 'feels' like it will run out of steam after 100. Oh, did I mention I miss the noise?Just wish the Mk3 didn't have to rust ;( Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Same issue with my V6 Passat. Only, that feels/felt like a tank all the time. Link to post Share on other sites

shail 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I could have engine swapped, but the Mk4 is in such nice nick, and the engine is sweet I couldn't bring myself to mess about with it. Link to post Share on other sites
