<x-charset iso-8859-1>fiesta - went through similar frustration with an AT squareback: hot-smelling, missing, poor acceleration, complete inability to deal w/hills. Solution had nothing to do with the engine, or any of the stuff your mechanics seem to want to continually tune & replace. The problem was in the transmission - a faulty vacuum modulator was allowing tranny fluid to be sucked up through the intake, which made for really lousy combustion. New VM (an inexpensive part, IF you/your shop can find one), car ran like a dream. just a thought. -- timmy '72 square Redondo,CA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
