hello all! well I just put in a brand new stock 1776 motor this weekend and as I was driving the car home we have this really big hill about a quarter of a mile long before you reach the top, and all of the sudden a lot of loud tapping! so right away I let of the gas and it stopped. put my foot back and the noise came back. and so on. my speed went from a nice 80 km to 30 km(as you dont know I have a euro notch with no mile speedo) as it was really late and I have seen cars on this road the morning after, kinda something out of mad max movies! just raped and pillaged! so I have vowed to never leave a car there at all! and I was about 4 or 5 miles from home, so even if had to push the car I was trying to make it home. I made it to the top and just coasted for a while and no tapping so I gave it a little gas and no tapping. more gas and tapping. so I let off, tapping went away by the time I got home I had pushed to full throttle and no tapping. by the way, I only use super in the tank so I know its not the gas.? maybe, but what else coud this be? the car has about 50 km on before I came home. please help because I goota drive from colorado to virginia on friday. YES in this car!!! mike shaffer 63 1500 standard notch 64 1500s sunroof notch ( mystry tapping???) 66 variant ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
