what are the engine codes for the 1.9L wbx? from what i understand the '84 1.9L wbx is engine code DH and the '85 1.9L wbx is engine code MV... i took my '84 wolfsburg into the shop yesterday and i was going to have them advance the timing 5 deg. BTDC among other things.. well, they told me my van had a '85 engine (code MV) and it was ALREADY advanced 5 deg. BTDC by the factory...????? anyone heard this? my engine code sticker clearly says its a DH ('84) engine, stamped on the engine code/specs sticker under the dash.. and i know its the orig engine.. so anyway they messed w/ the timing and now its hard to start the van, and theres a delayed response when stepping on the gas before the van goes.. is that a result of the timing being off? my van is a '84 wolfsburg, so it has power steering, like the '85 engines, but the sticker clearly says DH.. did all '84 wolfsburgs get the MV engine or the DH? any help appreciated.. chris '84 wolfy |
