sorry for the caps i forgot
JUST A SMALL NOTE TO DROP BUT I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING
THIS PROB ALSO??
IN REBUILDING MY QTD I'VE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE ENGINE SYS.CFG BUT I
FEEL VERY CONFIDANT IN DOING THIS I'VE OWNED/MAINTAINED VWS FOR MANY
MORE YEARS THAN I WOULD LIKE TO ADMIT. EVEN TO THE POINT THAT MANY A
FLAPS IRRITATE ME BY NOT ONLY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE (PAST GREEN CRT GLOW)
BUT THE TOTAL IGNORANCE THAT I WOULD EXPECT IF I WAS ASKING mc doulges
OR such for the parts from next to the fryer!!!
But back to the ????'s for Diesel the water hose from middle-port @
waterpump to cyl.head outlet is no longer avail (error kernel fault)
from dealer or FLAPS ( pep-boize) or local foreign-auto specialty shop.
this is the same hose in ALL Diesel ( maybe 2 variety for hose end size)
Then there is the water return hose from the metal tube @ back of
engine. returns from the heater core to the cycle side of waterpump @
bottom . What I needed is the one for in-line gas&diesel w/o oil cooler
(again only 2? variety of hose end sizes?). Nada no-dice sorry never
even listed it and bulk hose can't make the bends.!!
To get back on the road I was forced to go to my local pickel-pull and
recycle some 2nd hand candidates. all is well now but I would still like
to have acess to new ones @ some time in the future.
Any suggestions would be gratefull.
PS. there are several issues that I would like to discuss with a VW
DESIGN ENGINEER.(read : kick'em in the $#@$%^ )
sorry for the long wind but many of us self-mechanics can probably
relate.
