[T3] Oil breather work on the yellow car.

Decided to fix the oil leaking about the oil breather mount and ended up doing a complete job on it :-) My bad: Put the breather in a can of carb/part cleaner and it took the paint off! But that sucker is clean!!


Also, I finally did a valve adjustment and every single valve was tight :-( I had to once again reset the idle -- it had dropped to 500-600rpm -- and adjusted timing by ear. I'll hit The DDB shop to use the timing light to reset the timing proper style :-) Then the whole ignition system should be complete.

Got my girlfriend to drive to and from the store, acquainting her with the car. Bella (baby girl) snoozed the whole way in her baby seat in the back. Old VW sedans were never meant to have a baby seat in them...at least in a comfortable position for the person in front of it :-(

You guys with FI troubles, make sure your ignition system is working properly, it can cause performance, idle, mileage and acceleration issues.
