The pedestrian was crossing within a crosswalk at a stop sign. For once, they were doing nothing wrong; they just picked the wrong car to cross in front of. My calf was SORE the rest of the day from having wrestled with it all the way to work and then from there to my tech's shop at lunch. Driving has neeeever been so entertaining! (What brakes?!)
It has stopped raining. ;-)
No rain, no snow, yay!! Put the snows on for the winter on the 4-dr yesterday (13 Dec). I'll use the 2-dr or the wife's NB for DD in nice weather (i.e. dry roads) as either of them have good 3 season tires. The 4-dr has ASR, and combining that with snow tires makes a great winter driver unless there's a blizzard going on.
I do flood / mold restoration for a living, you want to treat the area with a antimicrobial. Preferably before it is totally dry. It will kill the existing mold spores and prevent any from coming back.
you might save yourself some future grief by getting enough vac tubing to replace them all and give you peace of mind knowing you're all set for another 100K miles
Here's a kit I would recommend: http://www.fixmyvw.com/vacuum-hose-kit-for-vw-alh-ahu-1z-a4-ve-tdi/
...did you get a new ALH or something more exotic?
Glad to see IBW is back on the road. Was the replacement for the replacement covered under warranty?
I remember driving the car when you had it that way. Nice and quick no smoke and no lag. One of the nicest setups I've ever driven.
