Which Supercharger did you go with on the '99?
I am still running my '83 GTi engine but I want a little more pep OR a lot
more pep. <g>

Ign Coils had issues starting with the VR6 engines and the 2.0 engines. So
why not the 1.8t. lol
Usually they can be repaired/resealed with a little time and a little money.

Knock on my wood, my '97 1.8t engine probably still has the original ign.
coils and they are doing well along with that ign module.
BTW I only own one VW, a '70 Beetle, but I do own a couple of Audis (1983 &
1997). <g>

Nah, they ain't good for nothin'...

Two VW's sacrificed themselves for my family and I...
The '80 Rabbit went 19 years and 175K before I had to put it down
because
of a tear in the pan under the seat...
The '81 pickup survived a slew of butthead owners before I rescued
it...
Still have it.
The '88 Golf just went to a friend's son at 237K...
The '99 Jetta has been astoundingly reliable, even with a supercharger
The '00 Golf is happily transporting my spouse around, with nary a
peep.

Guess I'll have to invest in some Detroit, er, Washington DC iron next
NOT!!
