Sadly mine is a Golf and the crossover is too limited. If anyone is interested I'll post notes on the recon mission.

Thanks!

Heard it could. Anyone here done it?

I'll agree with you on the biofuels drawback as far as production costs go. ANY "fossil" fuel has the potential to be supplied cheaper than any harvested/produced fuel; but here's the thing, there's many many thousands of acres in North America with harvestable biomass both currently and p...

Thanks for the help! It's fallen to the "end of the month pile" of jobs but I'll post back with the ugly truth.

What is the liklihood of a linkage problem vs.REAL trouble? 1. always felt a little sloppy going into 5th, while in, whined a bit at 35-50mph 2. sometimes popped out or didn't engage without an extra "nudge" 3. no engagement at all today, just a "spinning/buzzing" sound but not t...

My dealer told me that because of the shortage of low sulfur kero most stations weren't even getting a winter blend, just an additive package put into the regular diesel. All the blend was going to metro ("hi-pollution") areas and he was told by citgo to to just add the dyed kero to the ta...

Have one or know of any? Diesel preferred but not neccesary. Can pm here me w/ details.

Looking for good fitting, deep ones; front seats only.
(this is real snow country!)

Anyone?

It's love. Certainly preaching to the choir here, but I wish I'd bought one in '85 instead of the Turbo Colt. (Reverie) Ahhh, imagine; different car, different girl/wife, different career choices.... THIS ONE reminds me of all my favorite tractors, travelling around in the Freightliner with Dad, and...

There seems to be a lot of knowledge about fuel here (and I may be wrong) but what I have is what I think of as old style heating/furnace oil. It's thick and red and was only used with indoor tanks and it carries a lot more heat than any kero or pump diesel does nowadays.

Thanks guys. Around here "winter diesel" is straight pump diesel cut 50/50 with kero. No power, more expensive; but it won't gel when we get down to -20f or so. I figure I'll save the fuel oil for warmer weather, it does start to look pretty thick when it's cold.... As for the tax issue; &...

I've got 200+ gallons of old furnace oil that's not being used. Has anyone run the same in their vw? I've used some of it to power an old caterpillar dozer and it seemed to like it BETTER than pump diesel. Both are prechamber type diesels.......

owners and repair. Anyone have an extra?

This is the long one that goes front to back above the door, need both sides (mine looks like a goat ate 'em or something!). Anyone have either good used, new or a good source?

Thanks, Scott
