Wow sorry to hear the Beetle got hit like that, but what is really weird is I haven't logged onto this site in years and for some reason I was thinking about the old Beetle and logged in today and learn of it's untimely demise. As Brendan said, the car was maintained to the letter when we had...

There was a time when I thought about doing a Rocket Chip Stage II for her on the car, but when she started the traveling job she needed the economy for the long interstate miles and so I left it stock. Maybe its time for you to equip it w/ RC Stage II now... :cool:

Sold and buyer took possession today. Thank you to everyone for the interest and the condolences.

Sale pending.

Battery was replaced about Nov 2010 with OE bought from dealer. I'd have to go through receipts to be sure but that should be close.

Three photos show flaws, 1. there is a small windshield crack that was resin filled by Safelite immediately after, maybe 2 inches long, not in driver's field of vision, low on passenger side of windshield. 2, The right side of the car, the paint on the running board, lower area of door and 3. on...

Platinum gray with gray interior, leatherette heated seats. I'll get a pic or two up soon.

Located in Evansville, Indiana. Evansville is in extreme southwestern Indiana.

My wife died on March 8th. I have chosen to sell her Beetle. I was going to hold on to it but I can't drive it without her around, it makes for too much sentiment and sadness. Details below. Current Mileage: 93,318 One owner, bought new August 2005 Steady maintenance, most of it DIY Timing...

Does this mean my using it for a 10,000 mile OCI in our BEW is a bad idea? Wasn't the original Castrol TXT 5W40 505.01 oil also a Group III hydro isomerized base oil? Pretty sure the Castrol SLX Professional OE 5W30 505.01 is a Group III also.

Doesn't surprise me. I'd guess that 20 - 25% alcohol might be close to what that last tankful I got had in it. I just finished running that tank down to just before the low fuel light would come on, in order to get rid of as much of it as possible before refilling. I refilled at another...

True that... I went through the same dilemna yrs ago when we first bought her Beetle, our first ever diesel.

That makes two of us. Subaru sells a boxer engine diesel in the Euro and Asian markets, just not in North America. The main stumbling block for the NA market is 1. emissions compliance, and 2. sold as manual transmission only which has low market appeal here. And as has also been said, Subaru's...

Not sure how the pan is designed on the '09's but on our '05 the Pela extractor doesn't get all the oil out of the sump. I have to pull the drain plug after the Pela starts sucking air and then about 1/2 quart or so comes out the drain hole. Arrzilla you might want to pull the drain plug next...

True that, but I learned much from the shared knowledge and appreciate it. :cool:

Thanks Bruce. No skidplate but she needs a steel boiler plate under there the way she drives. The OE plastic undercover is kind of busted up on the passenger side from her somehow running up onto one of those cement front tire stop things that are at the head of each parking space in some...

Ah, the doggie leash method. I actually have your doggie collar. I'll need to eyeball the lower boost hose attach environment at the turbo to determine if the Leash mod might be applicable down there. Also probably need to check at NAPA for the better boost hose seals. Thx guys.
