GL-4 is often hard to find, so you may have to find a foreign car repair shop that can do this for you, or do what I did: buy a 5 gallon pail of it. I'm on my second pail. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
