Thanked 7 Times in 5 PostsMy '98 V70 is cable driven, so I assume that a '97 would be - unless of course it has had an engine swap sometime in it's life?
They can be RICA'd - not sure if HLM are still doing their £150 offer??

Thanked 56 Times in 43 PostsYeah, ME7 is generally 1999 onwards although some late registered 1998 slipped through the net!
A quick guide if you can't see the engine - if it has a blue grille badge it is probably ME7!Touareg 5.0 V10 TDI

Thanked 97 Times in 64 PostsMy dad had a 98 s reg v70 t5. but because it was late in the year when it was registered, it had all the 99 stuff - including the me7 engine and blue grill badge. my c70 t5 on the other hand, was registered early in 98, so is pre me7 and has the black grill badge. mad eh?!
oh - and the pre me7 can be rica'd - but the chip has to be soldered in i believe?? but same gains etcLast edited by dionbullock; Sunday 9th November 2008 at 11:23.
