x4 or 5 or 6. I lost count.

Buy the MJ if all you want is the engine. Sell off the interior and anything else that's good and get the money for the scrap metal then. It should just pay for itself.

If you google insurance quotes there's a site that asks for your info. I can't remember what it was though. Anyway, you punch in your stats, it asks you a bunch of questions and your email address. I did it. In a couple of days insurance quotes started rolling in from local agents. I went from paying about $2800 a year for three cars to $643 a year. You just have to wait a week to see who sends you the best rate. $2100 was well worth the half hour it took out of my time. If your in central PA call my guy. Douglas Erwin 717-533-0252 546 West Chocolate Ave. Hershey, PA 17033 Out of state (800) 209-7183 I don't know if he does out of state but it's worth a try. Between all my policies he probably saved me close to $5000 a year :eek:

Allright. Mitch wins the Comedian of the Month award :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Maddzz, if no one can figure it out by tommorow I'll call my computer guy for you. Good luck :cheers:

Should have said something. I just sold mine I wrote this really long post but when I hit the submit button it dissapeared :nuts: Anyway, you won't save any money on gas but it is a great car. Let me know if you need any input on it. I've owned 14 VW's now.

We have a Yamaha Zuma 49cc scooter. It gets used for delivering pizzas and when I'm too tired to ride my bike to work. It gets about 80 miles to the gallon. But only because we drive it at WOT all the time or it would do better. Top speed is about 40MPH. We never even get on the highway so it's all we need. I believe it was $2300 two or three years ago. It's already paid itself off in gas alone because we do about 100-200 miles a day with it. Someone who's extremely bored needs to figure out how much we saved in just gas compared to a car that does maybe 18-22 MPG. Only part that sucks is that if the temp drops below 50 degrees it starts to get cold riding it. But that's just like any other bike. My Comanche on the other hand is only getting 12-14 MPG in town. I guess it's because I only drive it to work 4 miles and back. Still trying to figure out if that's normal. I probably save about $30 a week in gas between using the scooter and the bike. But hey that's $120 a month plus $150 extra because I quit smoking which comes to almost $300 dollars a month that I can blow on the Comanche :rotfl2:

Man, only when I see pictures of palm trees is when I seriously miss Miami :cry: Looked like fun. Hope you had a great time :cheers:

Just get new ones at NAPA. They're not that expensive and you know they'll work right.....hopefully.

IT LOOKS LIKE ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!! Jeepco, sell it to me :D

Bastard! What are we supoosed to do if we need a interior door clip over the weekend. WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CALL! :rotfl2:

So should I change out the fan clutch?

So Eagle, mine moves easily after it's hot. Not as easy as when it's cold but still easy. I guess it's bad. However my temp doesn't go up at a light. It goes up while driving around town and drops back down when I stop at a light. Could the fan-clutch cause this to happen? I pulled out the laser thermometer again and ran a couple tests. While my gauge reads probably somewhere between 215 and 225 it never hits 225. I aimed the laser at all the different places I could think of and right where the sensor is by the VC is where it almost matches my gauge. Everywhere else though it reads anywhere from 170 to 200. I thought my gauge was just wrong because it never overheats but now I'm secondguessing myself. I've changed the thermostat, fan temp switch/sensor, plastic expansion tank, and the PO put a new radiator in. The fan works but it doesn't turn on until the gauge reads close to 220-225. That's why I always thought the gauge was off. Is it normal for it to turn on that late? So should I just go ahead and change my fan clutch and does anyone have a good set of instructions on how to do it? Oh I've flushed the coolant and replaced and bled the air bubbles too. What da ya think?

See Pat If you build it, they will come :rotfl2:

Well if it's boiling out, ya your overheating. Let us know if the fan clutch was the prob then. Good luck :cheers:

How much are the UCA's that you want?

I like the round better. Sorry :oops:

Try looking up VW's hose for the 1.8T. They're readily available and you can probably get em cheap from a junker if they fit the Libby application.

You know T, I said the same thing to my wife and she just hit me....really hard.

Mine does. So if it's not supposed to mines @#$%ed too. Did you verify the temp yet?

If you take the cylinders out of the doors and take them to a locksmith with whatever key you want to use (like your ignition) they will rekey each cylinder for about ten dollars. I went and asked today.

Ya, but that doesn't mean anything. Is coolant blowing out of the pressurized bottle? If it's not, measure the temp of the coolant in the bottle, the temp on the side of the block closer to the passenger side, your radiator hoses, and right where the sensor plugs in right on top of the head. It might be that your gauge is just crap. It's happened to a couple people on this board. Just eliminate the possibility that your gauge is wrong before you start freaking out like I did. If you don't have a laser thermometer use a cooking thermometer to test the temp in the plastic bottle.

John, are you sure your overheating. Arre you going by the gauge. I thought mine was overheating too because I was reading the gauge, which was off by thirty degrees. I bought a laser thermometer and found out everything was fine after changing a whole bunch of parts that I didn't have to. :wall:

No. Don't shoot yourself. It's not fun at all.
