1982 Volkswagen Scirocco review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The whole engine blew, overheating, wheel bearings, heater core, gearshift bushings, strut bearings.
General comments?
Turned out to be a very expensive car to run - the engine had to be replaced because the crankshaft key rusted off the crank - thus, the timing belt stopped moving.
