NAPA usually stocks Pentosin. I did away with the Pentosin, and replaced it with Mobil1 Synthetic ATF (~$5.99 @ Walmart). Commonly done by many on the Audi World Forums (I used to own a 200 Quattro). Posts there vary, some drain the Pentosin and flush the system well, others add the M1 right in with...

Valve cover gasket upgrade kit arrived Wendsday afternoon so I put the G60 valve cover on early yesterday morning before my commute to work. It does reduce noise somewhat, I'd say ~25%. It seems to me that it eliminates noise the most at highway speeds. It was most noticeable to me at 65-70 (2500-27...

A few suggestions... I swapped a 1.6L Eco engine into an 89 Carat. I did a bit of sound proofing along the way. Full details here . Supposedly, additional sound deadening (tar mats stuck to body panels) was part of the Carat package. Based on what I saw in the Ecodiesel Donor and in the Carat I'd sa...

I did some checking around about batteries before I bought one. I didn't want a generic Walmart or Autozone cheapie. It turns out a Company called Douglas Battery a division of Exide has the contract with Varta to produce new OEM replacement batteries here in the U.S. for BMW, Mercedes, Audi and VW ...

Yeah....

People sometimes think the have the one one of something. There for it = GOLD!! + 10. he maybe should have searched ended Auctions first.

He probably bought it for $1000 locally and now thinks he will make a killing.

There is a 4th cooler, which I took, it was a oil cooler, I think it is better than VW's stock oil cooler which uses coolant, this one is like a small radiator, about 3 X 10 inches, cooled by air. The question is how do I use it on my Rabbit? :) I am not 100% sure on Saabs and maybe it was just the...

The ASF, AON, ACN, ACL code transaxles all have the same gears and 3.67 Final.

R134 can put quite a load on our older low HP engines and not cool as well as R12. There are R12a alternatives available., RedTek and DuraCool or search "R12a" on ebay, there is a dealer or two of other brands. I have yet to use them but, have read a bunch. I will be charging the A/C in th...
