All, Ive just bought a 11/99 bora with a 2.0 8v cross-flow engine, dont know the engine code yet, maybe someone can help me there? Its done about 50K and Ive just bought it with no warranty at all! What do I need to check/look out for? How do I check the cam belt tension? I will get a Haynes manual when Im next in the UK, but want a to do a bit of a check before driving it home. Thanks in advance Mark.
someone must know about this? i've seen people talking about the xflow head on here i'm sure! also what is the best oil for this lump? please help, i pick the car up in a few days. cheers Mark Edited by: mark25
Mark as this engine is very rare in the UK not many people know about it. Your best bet is to ask on vwvortex as they have loads in the USA
it can't be that rare, it's the new beetle engine right? and the 2.0 passat and golf, or do they have a 5 valve 2.0 lump? M.
They are quite rare over here mate... We don't think 50mm inlet manifolds are rae.. but guys in the states will pay big bucks for them.
It's an APK, do you guys have that engine in the UK? if so, any info or faults i should check for would be greatly appreciated. Mark
