Just realized that I put 10w40 oil for a gas engine in at my last oil change. Do you think this could be causing the smoke? I didn't notice the smoke before the oil change but I wasn't paying attention to it either. Should I expect other issues to arise from putting the wrong oil in? I have driven i...

Looking for a timing belt cover for a 81 rabbit.

I am getting quite a bit of white smoke from the oil cap on my valve cover and from the dip stick tube when I pull the stick out. Is this something to worry about?

My 81 rabbit was had been running well for the most part until it stalled while accelerating up a slight hill. It lost power while driving and and the rpms slowed way down until it was running really ruff and then stalled. The first two times this happened it started right back up without a problem ...

I have an 81 rabbit 1.6 and I recently took the IP off to replace the o-ring on the water pump inlet. I have put her all back together and it starts and runs but rattles pretty bad. I have rotated the IP counterclockwise as far as it will go and it makes the rattle better, but I cant get it to go aw...
