Not the Fiero,,.. the $#@! Golf.

Everything is ok but HC ( hydro carbons? ) seems it's due to high combustion chamber temps.

The VW is a 1.8 16V. does not come with EGR.  

I'm stumped.. what can I change / fix?

Cheers!

Change your oil and filter. Unburned gasoline (hydrocarbons) can accumulate in crankcase oil. The excess gasoline vapors can cause an engine to exceed emissions standards. In addition, up to 25% of internal engine friction is due to small particles in oil. When particulate levels are reduced, internal engine friction is reduced, fuel economy is improved, and tail pipe emissions drop.
