I was reading an article on Mexico City banning the use of the Mexican VW bettle because of safety and emissions. That concerns me because I try to keep my 1.7 engine well tuned. I know my car is extremely fuel efficient but is it bad for the environment in another way? Does anyone know have any info on this?

My '75 L-jet teener passed emissions easily and then some when I had her although she barely squeeked by the noise requirement (on the second pass...POS kid saw "PORSCHE" on the back of the car and decided to do a noise check (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) )
I feel my current '73 would as well with the D-jet but due to her age she's exempt. Personally, I'm glad I don't have to do the emissions crap w/her and my Squareback. If I didn't have to deal with "the Man" about my Jetta I'd be even happier. |
