Mike,
How'd you ever get your 2000 Passat up to 260K?!? I bought one used in 2002
(might have been the first problem right there), that ran right for 3
months out of the 18 that I owned it. When it ran right, it was the most
amazing car I've ever owned, but when the VW regional service rep told me
there was nothing they could do to make my car right, I drove to the local
Honda dealership and traded it in on a 2003 Accord, which my ex still
drives. I got the '87 Westy. :)
Regarding flight mechanics and/or Harbor Freight, I got nothing.
Oh, and welcome aboard!
