I got a bunch of rust repair done on the Rabbit this fall. It was way worse than I imagined but I've already put so much time into this car it's hard to let it go. So here it begins on the passenger side rear rocker: I know it looks bad and that's the area the rear end is bolted to. But the inside a...

I've seen more Rotella T4 and T6 at the local fleet farm too.
It's spendy though.

The bushing I'm talking about goes around the inside of the housing, around the shaft the tie rod screws onto. The passenger side end gets loose and moves side-to-side. It would be nice to have a 3-d printer. I don't know anyone else that has one locally so maybe I should get one. Well it's time to ...

Fixed the shifter slop:

I'm working on posting a video of the VNT-15 setup and how it works.

I lucked out and found one 5 gallon pail of rotella T6 for the TDI at fleet farm, with a rebate.

They are opening up the strategic reserve and sending it to other countries.

Glad to hear everything is working good now.
Sounds like a great test drive and adventure.

diesel motor oil shortage coming to a neighborhood near you. Looks like there is a huge shortage of additives that are used to make diesel motor oil. By September you might not be able to get any. This might also lead to a new/virgin plastic shortage. https://naturalnews.com/2022-06-22-red-alert-ent...

Glad to hear you could find a 36mm pump and that it helped increase oil pressure.
It didn't help much when I upgraded to one.

Yep, you'll have to go underneath.
There are 4 bolts (12mm 12 point?) that hold the turbo to the exhaust manifold.
They are not easy to get to and will need a short breaker bar to remove.

They have to be removed before the turbo will come off and allow you to get to the intake bolts.

Got the old Rabbit back on the road for summer. It's running great, lots of zoom. Sounds great with lots of turbo whine and a roar when slowing down. It has just a little too much boost in the lower gears even when set at the lowest setting. So I'll have to make the accel peddle have more effect on ...

I hear the MK4 golf headlight setup works better.
I'd rather have a MK4 golf than a Jetta, even if some of the parts are better.
They will swap over.
That's the way it was with the MK2s also

I can't stop picking at it. Just when I think I have everything, I think of something else to grab or tear apart. I want to know how to fix the heater vent doors, the Mk4s have the same problem as the MK2s. So I pulled the dash off. All the little locking things like rear seats, glove box, trunk fue...

Here's a picture of the jetta I'm parting out: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52044122471_cb567dda8f_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52043025897_d44dbef4f4_b.jpg Gotta love that tailpipe, ha Some guy hit a slick spot and rolled into the ditch this winter. I'm needing a better ALH engi...

Ohh you have a VNT-15 that came with it.
That's my favorite turbo for the 1.6.

Too bad,
they are a good reliable source for parts.
