    At this point in time I could see a few people grabbing thier monitors and screaming NO DONT DO IT. I bet poor IJ bought had a heart attack. I made that mistake once man. Its a costly one.. even in a 1865cc vw :)

    Sudden drop in vacuum pressure

    You are correct. Its the relay for the vacuum line. I'll find one when I can. For now I'm just bypassing it.

    Sudden drop in vacuum pressure

    Go away for Thanksgiving. Come home and may gas tank door is bent all to crap, the driver side door seal is torn. Fixed. I hate people who try to steal stuff. Got those two things done. Now I get up this morning and I have no vacuum pressure, anywhere. None, nada, zip, zilch. Thus no heat...

    Velocity Tuner

    If anyone has had anything to do with VW's you'd know it was crap. I've seen people put undrive pulleys on the alternator and run the fan ducts to a modified carb cleaner. Of course they relocated the oil cooler. Just forcing a mute amount of air into your car does nothiing. It seems to me it is...

    cluch fluid sluge

    The way I did it was: I removed the cylinder from the firewall. Drained it of course, removed the line as well. Ran a lint free rag down inside the bowl and scrubbed, doesnt hurt to use a baby bottle brush. You can us brake fluid to flush it as well. That sludge caused mine to leak. Any Dot3...

    passenger window issue.

    Mine did the same thing when I got my supra. I took the switches apart. Inside the switches are copper contacts. They get bent over time. You can easily take them out of the switch (after removing the switch from the door panel) and bent to make contact again. Worked for me. Nothing fancy. Just...

    Rear end plug.

    Well as you can see its not threaded. How and the crap would it just.. pop out? I havent touched the rear end at all. Can it be helicoiled and bolted? If not I'll have to rethread it and go to a larger size. Is that the best way to go? If so I'll jump on getting the parts tomarow including the...
