SO, what your saying is, you took a stock radio from a '94 Jetta and put it in your car? I highly doubt that would have anything to do with it....I have a 2400 watt amp for my sound sytem in my 2000 Jetta with no capacitor, and I haven't gone through any alternators or batteries, yet. Unless there's a short or a wiring problem, I don't think the radio would cause any problems with your car, but I may be wrong. As far as gas mileage, fuel consumption is a number of things, fuel filter, fuel pump, any number of items that supply fuel to the engine. The ECU has a definite play with your air/fuel mixture, so if that's fried or whatever, that's a good possibilty. Start with the fuel filter, should be part of routine maintanence anyways.

 

i dont see the radio killing your computer at all that seems HIGHly odd to me considering that they do not make any comunication back and forth. i do know that there are some people on www.antistock.org/forums that could answer that question more fully for you
