Answers
1)   it looks Mk5 - M M M

2)   It's a Mk4. And a fairly early one at that. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

3)   Agree, its a Mk4 - Lippy

4)   That's a Early Mk4 golf that suffers the Common Abs pump failure Manufactured by Ate teves. If you test drive a early example between 1998-2000 make sure you don't get a low speed abs activation when coming to a stop ie at road junctions etc or it will cost you £500 for a replacement unit. - turboextreme

Question 2
Can an 1835cc (92x69) VW engine be rebuilt to a 1775cc (90.5x69) without additional machine work?...  What parts would be needed? Just pistons and jugs?
I am going to add a turbo, and am worried about the thinner cylinder walls of the 92 bore. The 92 is a "slip in" big bore for 90.5. The extra displacement comes from thinning the cylinder walls.
It's also on a Baja bug that I beat the hell out of sometimes, so it'll be bounced around a lot more than a street machine.

Answers
1)   Why do you want to drop displacement? You will be loosing torque and power.

Yes all you need are the liners and pistons, however the head may also be different as well. - BigeQ

2)   the block is bored out to fit 92mm jugs,cant go smaller than the 92's will have to get another stock 1600 block and have this block bored out to 90.5mm and will have to buy another set of heads bored out to 90.5 a lot of expense for less motor, - KAM

3)   why do want to do this? afraid an 1835 is not reliable? its probably more reliable than a 1776 in the long run. keep it an 1835 you will be much happier and save a lot of money by doing so



EDIT: yeah, i just assumed that who ever built the 1835 was smart enough to have the case clearances for bigger jugs but apparently they wanted to save a buck. yes in that case build it into a 1776. much more reliable then that 1835. if it had been done correctly i would still stand by what i said earlier about going with the 1835.

since thats not true definitely go with pistons and jugs for a 1776. pretty sure you will need heads as well - Air-Cooled (o\ ! /o)

Question 3
Looking for what year models of Volkswagen beetle will be compatible with a 1969 beetle.?...  Need a front axle for my 1969 beetle and i need to know what years are compatible so i can find a spare. Thanks!

Answers
1)   68, 69, and the first half of 70 use the same front end. The basic front end is the same since 65, however in 68 VW switched to a 4 lug wheel. In 70 The front suspension went through a major make over and that is when they started using McPherson suspension. - Shane A

2)   try www.thesamba.com and any year from 68 to 76 but not super beetle, the super beetle has strut front end.and the 69 you want is a ball joint,earlier than 67 has king pin,link pin front.can also try www.cbperformance.com for more choice's. - KAM

3)   any 1968 to 1977 standard bug is a straight swap for the beam. - Air-Cooled (o\ ! /o)

Question 4
is a VW jetta a good first car?...  I really really want a 1999 VW Jetta, but I'm told that they'd make a bad first car because they're too low to the ground for towing, and their costly to repair?
Is this true, and other than that are they good cars?

Answers
1)   thats bs

jettas are sexy, efficient on gas, and easy as heck to fix - Julian

2)   Jettas are awesome! German engineering at it's finest. I've never thought once about my girlfriend's Jetta being "too low to tow". Then again, they're so reliable I'll never have to worry about it! - Matt

3)   What kind of idiot would recommend a car on its ability to be towed?? VW's can be a little bit more to fix, but not much more that anything else, plus German parts are generally very good quality so your getting a better deal anyway. Jettas are awesome cars, they have their querks, but all cars do. They are fun to drive if its running good. - Steve Polychronopolis
