I have noticed the same thing the to vent bracket has the grid pattern and it holds better, it is also steel. the bottom pivot is a herdened pot metal with very little feric value. The company i am dealing with has been super helpfull and said this adhesive will hold up to exreme temperature fluctua...

I have been in close dealings with a custom industrial adhesive company for quite some time and my be coming to a close once and for all on how to permanatly glue the vent windows in if you either do not have bolt ons available/can not get rear view adhesive to stick. I should have there mix next we...

I know the two part epoxy would probably be the best solution. I guess what i was looking for is to see what the O.D. of the shoulder on the gear is so i can go buy a snap ring and when i get a free minute to pull the cluster and the speedo and pop it on there and put it back together and install ag...

I swear i saw a post a few weeks ago (don't know when it was posted) about a guy who let his mom borrow his jetta i think. anyway i saw a picture in this thread a snapring used like the copper tubing above. I have been searching for this thread for a week trying to find the picture again and see if ...

I found while in communication with adaptall the following info. I gather from your description that you would like a bushing that is male 12x1.5 - female 12x1.5 rigid in an attempt to gain at least 1" of standoff. For small quantities I suggest a two piece solution, part # 9001-12-12( male nip...

PM me you email address and i will email you some scans of my service manual for the tranny. I will tell you now there are some specialy tools to start changing syncros out. however I did come across a website of a guy who builds these using good used parts. check out brokevw.com I think he would be...

It has the 020 trans. I checked, it has the weighted linkages.

I have found a 92 or 93 (couldn't tell) jetta with an eco diesel engine and 82K miles and was wondering if anyone had any input on how hard it would be to pull my engine and install the ecodiesel engine trans combo. I am not at all familar with the little details of the eco. I have acces to the whol...

> - 7)Temp gauge works when it wants too, almost every other drive, never first when you start it up tho. - 8)turn signals get stuck, or turn off when pushing on the brake pedal The plastic printed circuitboards on the back of the istrument clusters ar notorious for hairline cracks in the copper tra...

Is it white white smoke or a bluish white smoke? and how many miles on the engine. cause white is oil, blueish is unburned diesel, and black is lots of burned diesel. if it is at high RPM you could have bad rings letting oil get into the cylinder from the bottom or lots of blow by spewing oil into t...

if you are leaking that much oil you should be able to warm the engine and let it run on the ramps as the iol pressure will show the leaks. if it that bad you should be able to see it right away. there is usually a pretty good amount of blowby but it should not be spewing oil out to cause that must ...

Very true, it can be done this way but I try to minimize all risk of damageing the crank where the seal rides. I have seen it done that way before on the big caterpillars that have a wider seal. I would like to mention the risk of scoring the crank surface or the aluminum housing with the screw if i...

Not a problem if i have an answer i will forward it if i know it is correct. if i dont know i will try to find the info so i know it is correct. as above the same is for the rear seal. it has a housing as well but obviously the tranny will need to come out to get it.

I agree I remenber things i have done as a young mechanic and looking back now I would have kicked my own ass if i knew then. being a diesel mechianic for 14 years has grown me alot in just general mechanics as well and I am happy where i am at but if there is something i dont know you better belive...

Also you will need to check the "out" banjo bolt because there is a screen in there. you can shoot some brake clean up in there to flush the screen out as well. if you use a paper towel to catch the crud you will see how much stuff was in the pump that could have neded up in your injectors...
