MK2 Jetta CLX specs!

[Jumbo02]

Hi Guys, i need some help here...i am considering going for a mk2 Jetta clx but i am not sure as to how reliable and cost effective that may be. Can anyone please help with the technical know-how on this

[just4fozi@yahoo.com]

Jetta 2 CLX is has a decent engine. The same engine was used right through up until the earliest Jetta3/Golf3 CLX. Its quite reliable and provides decent performance. Same motor was available on the early Citi Golf Sport. I have a buddy with a citi sport with this engine, he has a single sidedraught carb + 276cam + freeflow and he beats my 1996 vr6 from standing starts

these mods cost him:
276cam + Vernier R1200
Sidey + Manifold R1300
Freeflow R950 (Supaquick 50mm)

(I have the roadtest of this car at home)(Will try and scan+post it in the week)

I stand to be corrected here but the CLX was one model short of a CLi, so should basically be the same but just not fuel injected. Depending on what you are planning on spending, maybe look around a bit more and see if you can't find a CLi, the fuel injection is less prone to wear, if you get one with a slightly dodge carb they tend to be heavy on fuel. I can get up to 700kms out of a tank if I drive nicely.
Also you will get electic windows, aircon, and all the "big" car stuff. The later ones (like mine) also had power steering, BTW I only paid R20k for my 92 MK2 CLi. and it's full house.

CLi is a better option, but many of the clx cars were full house except for leather and electric windows on some. Cli can be even more problematic if the k-jet fuel-injection system goes faulty. Very difficult and pricey to repair Trust me, i've been through it before. but if its well looked after it should be good for years.

Thanks a lot guys, i suppose i should just go for it then....as for CLi, i don't think anyone would wanna buy that down here in Pretoria because you'll be buying it for someone else to come and steal it . What mods can anyone do to this baby , because i was checking-out dubmodder.com for any ideas and i could only come-up with CLi.

276cam & vernier + filter + Freeflow xhaust for starters.
