I'm sort of half-way done with the tuneup I started a while back.
I've done the cap, rotor, and 6 of 8 plugs. After that, all I'll have left are the wires.
Then maybe I should figure out why the EGR code keeps getting set.
Or maybe I should set it on fire.
I am helping a friend with his Audi tomorrow, no wiring harness for me.I have engine oil and a filter.
I have coolant and distilled water.
I have a new radiator.
I have new inner tie rod ends and boots.
And I have all the tools I need to get the GTI back on the road.
MOTHERFUCKER WHY DOES THE WEATHER ALWAYS SUCK ON THE WEEKEND
I need a garage.
I feel like I should sell the Cadillac and the Infiniti and get this.
Dad's been trying to get his VW Van running again. The old Solex carbs were so worn that there were permanent air leaks around the throttle shafts, so he found a Weber kit to replace them. It's running well, but he keeps getting issues with fuel leak-down into the crank case when it's shutoff.
His mechanic has reset the float level twice (to my knowledge) and is supposed to be fairly knowledgeable with VW Weber swaps, so I'm wondering if there's another issue that might be going on. I seem to remember that when a fuel pump gasket went out it allowed fuel to leak into the crankcase, but Dad tells me that was a combination of issues.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can pass on to Dad for stuff to check?
@Mustard Dispenser, I know you're a VW guy, can't remember who else is an air-cooled VW guy
Electrical tape does wonders for dummy lights. I own two air pressure gauges, and can also tell by sight and feel when something is wrong with a tire.Nine times out of 10, missing means the last place that worked on the tires fucked it up and didn't tell you.
Although in this case, I'd wonder why the TPMS light coming on and staying on didn't bother you
Update: got the front off the car.
One fucking bolt holding me up, a rusted out T20 screw which holds the AC condenser to the radiator. Stripped it out. Hammered a T25 in there, that didn't work, just bored the thing out more. Outside shape keeps me from getting vice grips on the thing. So I got the angle grinder out, and that siezed up on me and threw the blade.
Fuck you, universe.

If dummy lights bothered me, I never would have gotten through serial ownership of over 20 cabs.
The blade came unscrewed once when I was using it and started rattling, thought I never had it on tight enough so I tried again with the blade retightened and it shot the blade. It skidded away from me, bounced off the dog yard fence about 5 feet away and landed under the Honda.you ok? Angle grinder blade explosions are scary as fuck
