Re: The VW Jetta GLX Mailing List Digest V3 #327
Specifically your "slow burning fuel" thing... Actually, higher octane
does make the fuel burn slower. OKay, so it's in microseconds, but it
is slower.
Actually, the reason for higher octane is that the fuel will burn more
evenly rather than in spots, or actual detonation (pinging), as with
lower octane fuels...

You don't say if you tried changing fuels. If you did, did it make any
difference at all?
My car does not like Mobil fuel. It gives off a weird smell (no I won't
try
to describe it). Switching to Schell or Amoco works fine.
I would think that removing the cat would trip the second O2 sensor for
sure
and would probably cause performance problems as the computer would try
to
compensate.
The Service Advisor's comments about "slow burning fuel" only suggests
to me
the sad state of education in todays schools...
You might try posing this smell question to the VR6 list.
