Hello my friendly type3 listees, I have this little problem of the crankcase breather cap popping out. I bought a new one thinking the old one did not snap in real tight. The new one does the same thing. Does anyone else have this problem? I checked to make sure that the breather is not clogged and that it is venting into the air filter and it is, so any hints? Also, i changed my transaxle fluid with amsoil trans fluid and i have found that it is leaking out of the drivers side drive shaft seal. I know the level is right at the bottom of the fill hole so trans is not overfilled. The leak is not terrible but it drips maybe a drip or two overnight. I am familiar with changing these seals on watercooled cars and it's a pain because of the spring under the drive flange. Do the aircooled cars have a spring under there or is there just a c-clip and that's it? I may change the seal if it's not that hard, otherwise it will just have to leak a little until i pull the engine and trans in a rebuild. Finally, in the bentley manual it says to fill the oil bath air filter to the red line. My air filter has no red line! How deep should the oil be when it is filled correctly? An inch? Half an Inch? Thanks all, jesse 71 fi squareback Ps. I had a problem of an uneven idle that i had asked about maybe a month ago. I did a valve adjustment this weekend and found that i had a tight exhaust valve on one of the cylinders. I adjusted it and set the timing and found that my idle problems seemed to have gone away. Would the valse adjustment fix an uneven idle problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much? Digest! mailto:type3-d-request@vwtype3.org Subj=subscribe
