cal5289 0 Posted November 27, 2008 I have just sold my mk4 golf gti :nono: and am looking to buy a Corrado :D was wandering if anyone had any ideas as to what is best? Either a 1.8 16v or 2.0 16v, ie reliability, parts, performance etc. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horney 0 Posted November 27, 2008 I would buy on condition rather than whether it's a 1.8 or 2.0 really. If you have to choose I would say 2.0 as they are the later ones they tend to have lower mileage. Also apparently the late interior is nicer and bits don't break as badly. Fitting a 1.8 KR inlet cam (costs about £50 all in if you're handy with a spanner) and you have more power than 1.8. Downsides are you have a CAT and more sensors etc in the engine bay to go wrong.
