[Vwdiesel] top speed for 82 Rabbit 1.6L NA ---( here is hagars take on it )

[James Hansen]

yes, my 89 Jetta still hits 165 kph, but you should allow some for odometer
inaccuracies.  At 165, gps shows I'm only at 158. that's 103mph indicated,
98mph actual.
Throttle cable grommets, and the actual cable adjustment of full throttle so
the pump sees full throttle, not just the floor mat is important.
