Bet you didn`t do anything about that linkage yet.

[Rednut]

linkage??

anywho. got the bill today and the car back i felt cold without her..as did she.

ok, so the invoice states the major concerns he discovered.. let me know what you guys think.

new dizzy cap
spark plugs
washer pump
oil + oil filter
$150 in parts

coolant pressurisation (he thinks its the headgasket)
h.t leads needed (to coil)
new carby or alternative {fueeeeeeel inJECTION - weeeee!}
no air cleaner box fitted?
intake system air leak
thermo fans run all the time

car seems to run a tiny bit better.. she is running very cold tho.. and now when not accelerating.. the oil like flashes and buzzes.. would this be a sensor/electrical problem?

$120 labour.. im pretty happy with that..altho its my first visit.. so i may have been raped.

h.t leads needed (to coil)

If that's a VW lead (black) I'd be worried about a mechanic saying that.

[Rednut]

isnt it the tube that goes from the top of the dizzy to the coil? is it cause its a rare/expensive part? or its not as simple as ripping the old one off and replacing?

[syncro]

The original ones last forever but dumb mechanics replace them with inferior carbon leads which only last a few years.

[Golf Loon]

Yeah it had a black German lead on it. What colour is it now?

Intake system air leak? with a carby? what planet is this guy on?

Will it drive to sydders?

[Rednut]

i "think" its blue... not sure till tomoz when i can confirm that..

considering she struggles around here.. and nat sayin she was sick on the way from sydders.. i dont think she would..
