The 180s are pretty much identical to the VW 1.8Ts. The 225s are closer to the older VW 1.8ts. 225s = 9:1. 180s = 9.5:1. what? all of the 180 and 225 motors have forged internals… you’re incorrect. beyond that TT 225’s have dual exhaust and dual intercoolers… different programming (naturally) and lower compression… the 225 rods are physically thicker so ‘better’ but both are forged… so don’t be misinformed.

I always do timing belts every 60K-- I have always considered it cheap insurance. Some will argue with me, but I’ve never had a timing belt break on any of the 30+ cars I’ve owned. ---

Holy shit, I am picking up the car tonight. After endless arguing with the dealership and endless waiting, I’m finally picking the car up. It’s been done for over a week, but the dealership wouldn’t cough the money up. The motor went 4/7/08. Today is 6/16/08. Roughly 10 weeks. Unbelievable. ---

> [@Zack01GC"](#): > > Update: After a month of dicking around with these assholes, after many threats of suit and filing with the Attorney General, and a month of them ignoring our calls and making up excuses, the owner of the dealership came forward. He claimed he had no idea that this was going on, and said that it will be paid in full and the car will be returned in a week or two. The owner has already paid the mechanic, and said the car should be back within a week, two at the latest. All the people that work at the dealership were just idiots. The owner sounds like the only sensible one. > > = I win. Man I wish I would have seen all this before you even went there. We Call them SES automotive (for Service Engine Soon). My shop used to do all thier inspections and so on. We still do some, but I think we were having some payment issues with them. Thier cars are top of the line shit. Many come from out of state with various problems. They fix what is cheap and put as little into them as they can so they can sell them. They are proof that you really can polish a turd. They used to be Classic Kars, but for whatever reason they changed the name. I wouldn’t buy gum from those guys. Best of luck with your ride though. I hope after all that you don’t have anything else. ---
