SOLD: thanks benno, have fun with that.

95 ABA Motor 2.0 OBD1 Forged w/ squirters
Motor is strong. You can hear it run if you like.
Computer is blink codes (if you got no VAG)
This motor seems very clean to me, i'm quite sure it's low miles, but not sure.
Take the motor and harness etc...
Or take the whole car. $250 obo
(i'm keeping the tranny)
I'm moving across country, otherwise I would not get rid of this


Let me know if interested.
Thanks.

I aint needin' but how many miles on this puppy? Ever had the oil pan off to see if it gots them oil squiters?

When I got it, cluster said 40k (cluster already sold) PO was weird. I've driven it several times, and with the tranny being all there and the obd1 motor being strong and snappy, I had to have it. My impression from looking it up n down... it was in an accident and this was the junkyard motor/tranny replacement, and since the motor looked so clean, I assumed the cluster came with the replacement. 40k seems awfully low though. It was never completed or put on road. I fixed a coolant leak and powersteering leak when I got it. Doesn't leak now, and doesn't overheat. I haven't pulled the oil pan. Just need to throw a battery in it. Fires right up. Runs nice. I still don't have a vagcom setup, so the blink codes were always attractive to me, just look em up in the bentley.

Guess I should note... it very randomly throws that hall sender code. Runs beautifully when it's not on. sluggish when not.
On my first obd1 (95), it did the same code and ran the same exact way.... and I threw in a used distributer and it fixed it. Ran beautifully ever since. Trevor mentioned once, that you can just turn the distributor a bit to fix that, although I never tried it. May need new distributer. Or just a turn.

I pulled the oil pan today.
It's an affirmed OBD1 forged motor with squirters

Affirmative on hall sensor code.
Don't bother replacing the distributor -- just turn it about 10 degrees.
I had the same problem - replaced part after part with no avail.
Turn out that the timing belt was off one tooth, and had stretched a bit, thus throwing the timing off.
The computer couldn't quite keep up with the timing.
The true fix is to put the timing belt back where it should be.

Gonna pull the motor this week and scrap the car.
Anyone want this motor? $250 obo
Before I pull it, we could still fire it up and run it, if interested.....
