171F isn't really running too hot...even 190 if the conditions are right. You said you parked the car and the thermometer read 190? Was the engine running when you got this number? I would pressure test the rad cap to make sure it's holding the proper 13lbs.

My point was that you shouldn't need teflon tape.

Telfon tape doesn't belong in cars, mmkay?

Alright, I took it in and had it tested for the third time, after bypassing the EGR VSV (wasn't functioning) and just ran manifold vacuum straight to the EGR Modulator (not sure if that would cause a problem). Well this time, the car half-passed the test. It passed the 25MPH test, but not the...

Run my diesel Mercedes on WVO. :) The hybrids don't get the greatest MPG, that's for sure. If you want good mileage, get a diesel...I believe the VW Lupo (diesel) gets around 70MPG. Too bad it's not sold in the US. :(

Tornado, anyone?

1 Light = Soft (Normal) 2 Lights = Sport 3 Lights - Firm A novel idea at the time, I'm sure...but it just doesn't make enough of a difference in handling characteristics to really even be worth it. It's just kinda a neat little gadget to amuse yourself with for 5 minutes when you first buy...

Wow, I didn't know some 89's got body colored moldings!

I did one tooo. :D

Should make the canyons a lot more fun!!

You can make that nose panel look nice again...needs to be wetsanded and compounded...I've done it to several local MK3's that had the same problem. I shall show you how at the next meet! :)

My family has had several Akita's! They are great dogs, but it seems like they really don't like strangers...

Sorry I cracked the center piece, Nick... :(

I don't know what you're talking about. You asked for help, so I tried to offer my assistance. Then you claim that you "don't have enough time" to repair the problems. Well, if that's the case, then stop wasting our time and TAKE IT TO A SHOP.
