I have the stock 1.7 in my Convertible. It is still very slow. It has TT race downpipe and 2 1/4" SS piping. It pulls strong to about 10. It will be replaced soon though

Re: does anybody still have their stock motor in their car? (Diamond Dave)
So far every A1 I have owned has had it's original stock motor. That's a real tribute to VW enginering if you ask me. Mind you they didn't have really high mileage, in fact the present Scirocco has the highest mileage of any of them when I bought it at 208,000km, not bad for 20years old. If has good power and compression and it does use some oil but is improveing. Being that it is the 1.7L with the really small cam, I have a plan for a bit of a bump. So far it has a ported intake with a Audi/Golf TB and next will be a 1600 cam so it will actually rev past 6000 rpm. My old 1600 with that same stuff would pull to 7000rpm in 1st and 2nd. I also have a Supersprint street header to replace the dual downpipe and stock dual outlet euro style cast exhaust manifold. I know some people like those but they are stock for us so the header should be better.
That should be fun for awhile until I get bored and sell the car. I don't want to spend to much on it as I have my eye on another 'roc and I have my 2.0L 3A waiting in the wings.

I have the stock 1.8 8V in mine just replaced the head, the new one has 54,000 miles on it and purrs like a kitten, but to slow for my liking. Runs in perfect condition though so I will keep it for a while, until I build up the $$$ to put the 16V in.
No mods on the 8V by the way, except for the HUGE hole in the muffler, that came with time http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

my original 1.8 has about 150K, and it pulls strong and has tolerated a bunch of engine mods. cam, ported intake and bigger tb, euro injection, euro exh manifold and dp, and 2" tt exhaust. doesn't leak oil either. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
