re: replacing head on a '93 Fox

May 02, 2005 1 Replies

I have a problem with a leaky head on my Fox. It has been a great car in the last year and has fairly low mileage. I have my bead on a head from a '90 Fox in an area salvage yard but am having trouble finding if they are definitely compatible... I even have the Bentley guide and unless I am missing something I don't see a clear breakdown over the production years. I have eyed the head in the '90 and it is a different injection system than mine (which is a Digifant II for California.) Is that my answer? Is it a matter of the injection ports being different? I saw a head for sale on eBay that is a CIS injection system, that says is incompatible with any digifant system much less the digifant II ( he conveniently left out the year info on the head. Is there any reliable way to track this down in some resource? I could call VW, but my car is old and they are trying to sell Tuareg maintenance packages. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Try VWVortex.com. There are forums for the fox and the search engine is pretty slick so you can narrow down the information.
