would like to set timing on 99.5

Thanks,

[DanG144]

Come on down. If you cannot make the GTG, we can do the timing almost any time.

 

[03PlatinumTDI]

This is going to be a blast. I know I had a great time last year. I'm really looking forward to this.

Thanks again Dan for setting this up and showing us TDI folks so much hospitality.

I just remembered that I have a good set of LCAs on the top shelf gathering dust. Do these need to come with me so new bushings can be installed while other stuff is being done?

No biggie, I'll just bring your old LCAs home to gather dust on the shelf....

I'll try and make it there on Friday- that is if we don't have mandatory overtime at the plant! Any shot of getting my suspension installed too? I know it'll be time permitting.

I cannot really answer this. I will let you use the shop and tools, but I will have to do some last minute preps and running around, and cannot promise you any time. Besides, I am not proficient with suspension work.

For those of you coming from I-40 West and looking for an alternative route, try looking at 25-70 as an alternative. My wife and mother-in-law just used that route today to go over to Pigeon Forge. They said it is very good road but does have a lot of curves to it. Talked to a guy on the plane coming back from Houston today and he said that is the route they use now to go from Charlotte to Knoxville. He said it only adds 15 minutes to the trip time as opposed to I-40.

B100

I am bringing 10 gallons of biodiesel each to Paramedick and redjetj. I have some surplus since I am having to blend 50/50 this time of year. I can probably fit another 30 or 40 gallons in the car for the trip over. I will be there early Saturday for the Rocketchip line and to do my rear brakes. Anybody interested in either 5 or 10 gallons? $10 per five-gallon cubie.

It is delicious and good for what ails ya .

First come first served.

Is that broken down Ford Explorer in the background an intentional feature of your picture?

You bet!! I had a 1997 that a friend now drives and even though it had been good to me and to him (5.0 with AWD) there is a reason that like 5 of the top 10 vehicles traded in on the clunkerz program were explorers!!

 

[noplug]

Hey Dan!
I'm going to buy Laundryeater's 520 injectors and he's putting in 216's can you throw me on the list for an injector check, install, and vag-com scan to see if all is ok?
I can't wait!!! The anticipation is killing me!!

I do have the damaged shortblock I haven't torn down yet. Crank is probably fine, but I haven't looked at it. I was going to teardown and save the good parts, and throw the block away. Cylinder walls are pretty scored up.

I won't have time for teardown prior to GTG.

 

[redjetj]

Dan, I just picked up a 2004 jetta wagon, i have already spoke with Bruce and will talk to Landon, i am interested in having a couple you GURUS look at it. I may bring this instead. Could you put me on the list for Jeff to flash in a RC3?

 

[Elfnmagik]

Rooster, I'll take a 5 gallon cubie if you've still got the room?

 

[mopower]

What is going to happen on the Friday VAG seminar? I need to learn how to better use that tool.

My Jetta is going to miss this event but I'll find a way to make it out there. I'd be happy to help anyone with what ever wrenching they need.

Dan, Let me know what I can pitch in in ways of food or soft/cold drinks.

 

[DanG144]

The VCDS seminar will cover how to use measuring blocks, AUTOSCAN, basic settings tests, Output tests.
Also how to make operating logs of measured parameters. Some basic suggestions on which measuring blocks are typically most useful.

I am hoping to get everyone up to the point of doing a routine checklist on a car the next day, so they can do their own car, then do other people's car.

I would hope to be able to do a checklist on every owner's car that requests it. This will require more than just a couple of people doing them.
