Sorry to hear that. Very frustrating. I'm pretty confident that will be how IBW ends.
Thanks, Peter. Frustrating indeed...Sorry to hear that. Very frustrating. I'm pretty confident that will be how IBW ends.
Had the '01 Golf T-Boned. The Mrs. was driving and someone ran a stop sign, plowed into the driver's side door, it spun her around and the right front wheel hit the curb popping the tire. Janet is fine thanks to good ol' German engineering and we were able to drive it home. The door still works and locks and the window still rolls up and down, so we'll have time to look for a replacement. Over 18 years with the car without a scratch...
Thanks, Douglas. I was at home when it happened, less than a half mile from the house. I went down and changed the tire while the paramedics were checking Janet out, and she drove the car home.My condolences. Glad y'all are OK.
cheers,
Douglas
Tore the '02 wagon down to the flywheel and progress stopped. Hrmmmmmm...

Been there! Sometimes you can rotate part of the DMF to realign the holes - sometimes you need to do this:

Dang, that sucks! Glad she's ok, but keep an eye on her for issues to creep up after the fact.Had the '01 Golf T-Boned.

That looks like no fun at all
I wish full coverage insurance in Michigan was more affordable. I only need to go 18 months without an accident to save $2500 up, while still paying PLPD...Well, finally agreed to settlement with Allstate. After rejecting offer of $1400, claim was transferred to "total loss" team . After talking to new adjuster, told me to send him receipts of recent work to help value. Called on Monday, called him back on Tuesday. He said it didn't help value much, so he expanded search for comparables. No dice there, so he got some book values from 2 different books I think and averaged them out-came up with around $2600, plus tax for over $2800. After my deductible of $200 and salvage value buyback of $252, ended up with $2379. Pretty happy with that. I got a decent platinum grey hood yesterday and installed. Polished the headlights, then put sealer on them. I messed the paint up on fender,wire brushed it last night and started over.Picked up another battery today. Installed a new serpentine belt tensioner, one on car was leaking oil. Debating on whether to get new windshield,this one still has chips that haven't spread, but has lots of pitting which makes it a ***** to see at night. Hope to be back driving it next week....
I resolved one like this by getting a very large punch and whacking it against one of the pins on the flywheel. Meaning, one of those out on the periphery of the flywheel that is used to locate the clutch pressure plate.Tore the '02 wagon down to the flywheel and progress stopped. Hrmmmmmm...
I’m working in a farm shop and found a very large punch (about 18” long) that just fit inside the bolt heads. Made the job easy once I found that. Sounds like I was lucky being able to resolve this via “pry bar” vs. the other option.Cram in a 10, or perhaps even an 8mm bit and pry it towards straight. If you start with an 8, move to a 10... This assuming the two bits still can move relative( and prying with a very short bit past the fulcrum is a good way to find out ). Had the nearly wrecked dmf on two that took this to get 'im loose.

I need to do the same - the original, 309k mile windshield in my 03 is horribly pitted. i'm putting it up for sale soon and it's one of the remaining items it needs. Plus - it impacts what days I drive it. Sun glare is very dangerous in NYC commuter traffic!I had Safelite install new windshield yesterday- just over $240 coming to my house, that's with a $30 promo code. I went online Wednesday night, and I was surprised they had a morning or afternoon appointment available Friday morning. The installer was very thorough, he ground the one spot of rust down on the passenger side and treated it. I'm debating on whether to replace the back window, only 2 defroster lines work, and it was tinted. I see that VW clearance site has some rear windows on clearance for $69, need to check to see if it's got defroster in it....
Yesterday, installed left front fender liner (right was done a couple of weeks ago by Matt in San Anselmo).
Planned for today is install the new lower plate that attaches to the bumper cover valence and the fender liners.
Did you torque the big axle nut correctly when you installed the axle?So, I think there's some axle binding with that new axle. I had the car loaded up with stuff and it was making a lot more noise. After unloading the stuff, it was a bit less, but taking right turns makes it shake and wobble like a loose front wheel of a shopping car. What the hell causes that, guys?
Isn't 3500k 3.5 million?it wasn't today but within that past month i upgraded the nozzles on my 02. It definitly gained some power. Not a lot, but it doesn't die off like it did with stock nozzles at 3500k. I'm hoping to get a kerma tune soon to get it dialed in.
