      Well my Golf flew through the 2nd inspection, the info from blackgti helped, thanks again. The inspector I had today was as good as the 1st was BAD. It turns out the guy today used to work at Lanock's & then for Eblens.
      The first guy reported the ball joint must be replaced & when I got home I checked it & the play was at the top of the strut. I removed the spacer from inside the bearing & after measuring turned 1mm from the o/all length-- Problem solved. The other item I replaced was the tapered fuel hose between the tank & fuel line. It wasn't leaking in the form of drips but was damp & it was on my list of jobs to do.
      I can now look at the tooth belt timing & maybe remove the injectors for cleaning the soot in the head, the car has trouble keeping up with the traffic!
      Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

        Happy that it all worked out

        No idea why I kept that - the car it belonged to has been dead for 10 years
        It's interesting the things you hoard...

          I want to say that is a great post to have just done a search on child restraint and then finding this post, I am pumped! Saved me heaps of heartache!

          Thanks blackgti!
