Especially young car mechanics need to have enough interest in classic 30+ year old automobiles, otherwise they chose the wrong job.

And with our beasts becoming classics, any german shop´s young guys asking these questions make me leave instantly. I expect at least the curiosity to find out on their own (I admit the washer fluid is a tough one).

Cluelessness about our cars might have been acceptable in 2000, but not today!

Regards Raimund´s 2p for Beetles, Vanagons, steering column shifters, carburettors, and all these other quirks...
