82rabbitdiesel: Nice summary of performance enhancing options and cautions! Deserves a more visible posting. Steve it's just some stuff that I've copied/pasted onto notebook and then i post when the time comes. i can't take credit for it and I'm not trying to steal anyone else's. it's just my servi...

..so it just comes off with a couple good whacks.

that's what i'm starting to think. just doesn't seem to have enough space for one and i cleaned it off pretty good. i'll look at it again on next Tues.

clamp the axle in a vice (easily) and take a rubber mallet and smack the CV joint. Even if the Bentley says there's a clip there, doesn't mean the axle wasn't changed. i still have it mounted bc i have to get new 13mm inner mount bolts, have to get the vice grips on the old ones. i will try to smac...

not here. can't see...........

got a q about axle boot. can you look at it?

i'm trying to remove outer boot on the 82 rabbit (westy) and can't locate the circlip. bentley says it's there but have looked and not found. trying to get this done tonight so any help would be greatly appreciated. i've already got it separated from the hub but left it connected to the inner cv.

What are my best options here? How to change the o-ring around the high pressure end of the injection pump: Andrew (libbybapa) tried it on the bench and found a way to swap this fat o-ring while the pump is still on the car.

heard of limited ones being put in place of the clock but never heard of any in the center console

Do you turn fuel screew in or out for more fuel??? THANKS FOR THE INFO.. the simplest things you can do is advance the pump timing and increase the fuel delivery. scribe a line from the injection pump mounting flange to the bracket it's bolted to... loosen the pump and rotate the top of the pump TO...

Those of you who have Wife's or Mothers or Daughters on dialyses twice a week ---(like hagar) ---knows what to do EH ?.hagar. are you serious? does insurance pay for your filters? how do you have that hooked up? do you have pics? i'd like to see that. i have a Wife, Mother and Daughter but they're ...

I got my rear defogger to work. but it does not work well. I thought it would be the wire embedded in the glass, but it is attached to the glass and is raised like a half cylinder. there are pits all over it. I am looking for a repair kit. Anyone repaired theirs and what did you use? i have seen re...

My speedometer is making noise. sounds to me like the cable needs lube. but the bentley doesn't say anything about that. any ideas? I've used silicone grease and graphite before w/ long lasting results. works good on clutch cable also. when i get time i will put some on both of mine as a preventati...
