I never thought of this possibility, so this makes me want to go out and check mine. I don't have a leak, but I hate the thought of those 2 parts coming loose.... I think your shop had to completely remove those nuts if they did any work on the AT so hopefully that was the whole problem. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
