    I did double coat coat with Rust oleum Matte clear and ended up with a bit of orange peel. Perhaps I should have used the clear coat I bought for my bodywork touchups? I would be happy going back for a better finish

    LED upgrade options

    Thanks for the replies. You guys really helped me to make an informed decision! Given that I spent a couple of hours working from 400-3000 grit wet n dry and brought the lenses back, I got a set of Sylvania 9007 High Performance SilverStar ZXE Gold Halogen Headlight Bulbs. I left one of the...

    Yeah I'm going to and fro about it. Cleaning up the lenses was a vast improvement.

    LED upgrade options

    So yes I did search but nothing is coming up. I ordered LED headlight bulbs from ECS but they sent the wrong ones. Then I had great difficulty with customer service trying to get them to understand that I have a different plug to the ones they sent. Anyway, that's another story. I'm looking...

    Manual Transmission Fluid

    I like the MT90. Its in both my Jettas and my wifes 6 sp MTSubaru Outback. The Outback was real notchy before I changed to MT90. Not it shifts a lot better. Not as good as the VW 5 sp though!

    Rocker rust dilemma

    In essence, I agree with you. I have a friend in the body work business and he said exactly the same thing. Nothing stops it. All you can do is delay the process. He did tell me that he found cheap engine oil, sprayed on, to be the most effective. He removes door and tailgate/trunk panels and...

    BEW Hot starting anomaly?

    I've never owned a unit injection engine so this might actually not be unusual. I have noticed when hot starting that it takes a few cranks before it starts. Nothing drastic, as I have a good battery and starter. Every other diesel I've owned has had an IP and hot starting is usually instant by...

    Yeah, I'm going to and fro in my head about it. I will leave it open this winter and check it again in April or May when it warms up

    Rocker rust dilemma

    So I went the Fluid Film route. What I am wondering now is whether I should close up that open area or leave it open?
