Don't trade ANYTHING without the title - even with a signed bill-of-sale, without a title, you don't have anything other than a piece of paper. This may entail a long drive to Raleigh BUT think of it this way - it beats having the police knock on your door looking for a "stolen" GTi. If this person is interested in trading, consider meeting him half-way - that way neither of you has to drive 28 hrs (14 hrs each way)
3A conversion is fairly straightforward - it's merely a different block that happens to displace .2L more than the stock motor. The rough idle is standard VW fare - bad fuel transfer pump, accumulator, maybe a temp switch - nothing too unusual. --- [email protected] wrote: > Not 16v related, but VW related: > Someone wants to trade me an '86 8v GTI from north carolina for > my Audi 5ktq.
