What did u do to your Mark3 yesterday?

[JohnStamos]

That "repair" is worse then the rust that was there. With the contamination in the welds, no matter what prep word you did afterwords, its still going to rust through VERY quickly.

[root beer]

Poor grinder.

My car is now running great in sequential injection. Got my crank trigger issues straightened out.

Good thing, this dude at my family's shop has a newly minted 300whp eg coupe, and he needs his feelings hurt pretty badly.

I assessed some similar rocker rust yesterday, mine's all underneath though. Ordered some klokker panels, but that's probably gonna be a project for this winter. In good news, got a couple of boxes of suspension and steering maintenance parts and coils from WRD.


Just two more finals and it's time to do work!

[JohnStamos]

Rounded the head on a Vr6 crank pulley when the socket cracked.


I hate those damn 27mm crank bolts that are tightened by the hands of Zeus himself so damn much.


Time to weld a big axle nut to it.

I had to argue with the insurance company about the total loss value of my Jetta due to my stupid coworker. They wanted to give me $1400 for the car, but I managed to get $1800.

Now I have to fix this pos.

[councit]

Installed new controll arms, replaced all front end bushings (suspension), new tie rod ends, replaced wheel bearings... Ready to get that much needed alignment.

Sucks. Two years ago I had to argue as well. They wanted to give me 3 grand and ended up giving me 13 grand. Keep all your receipts .

[WakusPakus]

Put in both 02 sensors, new expansion tank, coolant flush, oil cooler seal (preventatively), new upper rad hose assembly, Vss, cleared ecu and putting in cycles to see if my cel stays off for the first time in months...

I'm finally happy with the way it sounds.

I like the way you jumped into the car. Freaking awesome you had both feet in mid air and just flew in.

I saw a while ago a thread about removing the dust covers from the motor mounts when installing bfi mounts because some people have bad vibes and mount slop. That was me and was totally pissed that I bought the mounts then paid to ship them all way here to Europe and it was still feeling like I was still riding on that Swiss ish!! So I was drinking and I did the passenger side mount. Big improvement!! But I was too drunk by that time to fix the front mount and test drive it so I decided I would polish the lip on the last wheel.
The old girl needs a wash and wax plus summer feets asap!!!

Strap that rack and cargo to the car, man! I did fine the night before driving from picking up the hood to the woman's house, 70mph on the highway. Made it 3 miles down the highway the next morning and the hood and rack came off the roof! So I now have a brand new, never painted or installed piece of genuine VW scrap metal hanging on the wall in the garage as a conversation piece. The next hood rode a much shorter distance strapped the firmly attached roofrack on my friend's B6 Passat wagon.

[PKstrategy]

drove it after 2 weeks

[Dangerranger]

Put fk streetlines on, cleaned up the interior, wired the radio in right from the po effing it all up, started taking all the spraypaint off from him also trying to get rid of "rust spots" (aka ball point size paint chips), oh and custom shift boot


Pics for clicks

[guidoyanovich]

Completed the timing belt/waterpump job...had to shut it down last weekend when I ran out of light. So Wolfsie sat for a week collecting dust/a spider & web in the drivers door panel /pollen/rain muck...what a week does to a car
Thanks Dan for your input and DIY!
Went with the old tensioner style instead of using the thermo again and all is good.
I added pics of how I timed her from the OE marks instead after trying to add my own. There were marks on the crank and intermediate pulley before I added mine and they were off bad.
I used the small O on the trans/bell housing for the crankshaft and left it backed off a bit before I put the belt on...this helped with any slippage.
Oh...then I washed her

[V-dubbulyuh]

Power steering pump replacement. The original one was leaking from the return port.

[YJSAABMAN]

Made a new Crown Royal shift boot. The old one was starting to get ragged, and I was plying around with it in traffic and came up with this idea, so i got my hands on another one, and here it is:

I did that same exact thing..so worth it

[WakusPakus]

washed it, drove it, got in it today and heard a weird noise when first backing out the garage...think it was just a rotor/brake pad stuck from all the water....did just fine on the way to work.
