[net.auto] Rabbit Troubles

frank@bpa.UUCP (02/03/84)

    I would like to know if anyone has had the same trouble with a 1982

Rabbit that I had?   The problem started with the motor stalling, Then we

had a fire under the car in the catalytic convertor. The carb. was replaced

to fix the poor gas mileage (20mpg), and stop any future fires, and improve

power. The fires went away, but gas mileage and power still were very

poor. (18-20mpg). The car had 1800 miles on it at the time the troubles

started. 

    If you own a 1982 Rabbit what is your gas mileage, and have you had

as many problems as I have.  This is only a carb. motor I'm interested

in.  By the way I sold the car back to the Dealer for what we paid.

The only good luck we had with this car.
