  2. Hi: Now my two cents about the 91 Polo Green Reatta. I bought one new and had a choise of two diferent dealers. From what I have heard over the past years there were no '90 Polo Green Reattas, and only 1 '91 Polo Green convertible was started but never finished! It ended up at the crusher!!! The count of the '91 coupes is 120. I still own my '91 Polo Green and it has only 19000 miles on it. I also have a '90 Red convertible and a '88 white coupe. I hope this helps about Pole Green Reattas. Art, the other Reatta Tec Advisor:
  3. The car would just shake at times. The ECM controls the input to the engine. (like a brain)
  4. A Vibration -- I finally Found it! I drove my '88 Reatta to Flint last year a total of 6112 miles around trip. It ran great but on the way back it started to vibrate every so often and I though is was the road as it lasted for about a block or so and then it ran fine again. On arriving home I had the tires balanced, then a set of new tires,then new spark plugs and wires, coil pack, MAF, checked fuel pressure, replace all the struts and a wheel alignment but none of these parts helped! but then I found t the problem THE ECM !!! I replaced it and the car runs like it should. The car now has 95000 miles on it. I hope this info might help someone get to the problem if they are having a vibration like I had.

  9. I am having a problem with my '88 Reatta with 95000 miles! At about 50 to 65 MPH it will start running rough and shaking for a distance of a few blocks, then runs normal again. I have replaced tires, struts, coil pack,M.A.F.checked plugs, plug wires and a wheel alignment and no codes. When it runs its great but when it acts up it is real BAD! Any suggestions!

  12. Hi: I used a Bra for my trip to Flint for the meet last year and drove 6112 miles and the bra did not harm the Reatta color white.

We sat in a tent for this dinner and there were no sides on it and the wind and rain ble <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />w in. The first 2300 reservations were to view the program and entertainment LIVE! We sent our check July 02 and our registration number was #281!

  24. I have had that problem and found by pushing the EJECT buttom many times it will come out. It is caused by lack of use. It will take a lot of pushing the EJECT button but it will sooner or later come out!!!

  25. Don: I have a '63-'64-'65 Rivieras and have replaced the heater core in the '63 twice with A/C. DON'T cut the fire wall!!! I removed the right seat, the console, and right rug. (ONLY) and all you have to do in the engine compartment is disconnect the heater hoses. Don't remove the evaporator. It is a tight fit but it can be done this way. I know as I have done it 2 times!!!
