I've installed a few bearings over the years, and a slow and steady heat source over longer time always made it easier. At first I tried to just slide it in on but that didn't work...

Get a 60 watt lightbulb, set new bearing on bulb when you start, in 30 mins it should be good to go. Do keep checking temps, I have to google what temp is acceptable

Hint, torque the bolt to the torque spec, then mark 90* starting and set points with a paint marker, and use a 1/2 inch impact. Some ugga dugga dugga and you're set.

I was driving around today and saw a nice Audi, which made me wonder if the a3 is more like the MK3, MK4 or did it go right to the MK5 platform? It or are there years that perhaps overlap?

New flex pipe and front joint My mystery knock may be found, the sway bar is shifted toward the driver side and is touching subframe on passenger side photo host

Oh, driving home, 2 hour trip, my exhaust finally broke. It was cracked after the flex pipe. Sounds weird.

Bent hub?

Did the GPS check. Indeed there is a 5.9% more travelled than odometer indicates. New proper odometer to liter nets 5.9L/100 km average. Used to be 5.3but I think I travelled slower when I though I was speeding My new PD fuel pump. Gets worse longer car runs https://youtube.com/shorts/NCW9PpmBQ_s

I went to 215 55 17 to get it accurate. At 120km I go 1 faster on GPS. It was a toss-up between 205/60 or 17 for that but ultimately I wanted more tread with.

Yes but I get hand calculated 43 mpg is or 6 years straight. The car was also going 6% less than indicated, so 6% less miles traveled maybe more with worn tires. Now with the the proper tires brand new the speedo is accurate and the mpg is down to 38.5

I might take you up on that, so I can see what breaks on the adjusters

How do you get that mileage? Drive 60 everywhere?

Ventsectomy here, the last gallon I trickle in until I see fuel at the vent. I drive 600 miles in 2 days and saves an extra stop

Well that's just disappointing. Anyone in SW Ontario have a crappy headlight from a beetle I can cut up and see? I threw the old ones out as soon as the new ones showed up, I didn't realise I needed them

Sounds like a good fix. How did you make the adjusters work and what projectors did you use?

Tried adjusting my headlights. TYC brand from rock auto. Probably broke all adjustments, the left points too left and have high, the right points too low and to the right, I have this cone of darkness ahead of me. I may have to get some plastic weld and crack open the housings

What to get for transmission, one out of mk4?

I need one of those

-1 celsius. So how does dehumidifying work?

I just installed the third hose to replace the last injector plug. The last hose I got literally melted away. This one is Gates 27000 at least on their spec it says diesel rated. While checking for leaks I turned on the AC to blow the warm rad towards the engine and dry up the diesel, my...
