Help Needed- Shop in Los Angeles Specializing in Scirocco 16V
Long story short, one of my friends picked up a Scirocco 16V revently. He has been having a hard time getting it running right again. He's fixed a few issues, but if I remember right, the car now has constantly runs extremely rich. Two shops tried helping him, but still no dice. Does anyone in the Los Angeles/Pasadena area know of a Scirocco 16V expert that he could take it to? Would be great to have someone give it a once over and hopefully rectify the problem!

Try Muller Motor in Alhambra, Eric. They are on main street. I have to tell you, I hate that guy but he knows VWs and German cars pretty well. They use to work on my wife's Audi.

Should have a Bosch CIS system which is relatively simple. He just needs to a shop that is experienced with that.

No one really specializes in that model but this is a good independent VW shop in the Silverlake area of LA:

Thanks for the insight guys, I really appreciate it! I didn't really expect too much because I've only seen two on the road in the past 3 years.

Nothing special about that Scirocco motor... identical to millions of Golfs, Jettas, etc. plus Bosch injection on 10s of millions. Find a good VW independent, that's all you need. Last edited by tcar; 10-29-2018 at 03:25 PM.. |
