Mike When, my fuel pump was making a lot of noise some time ago. It was simply that one of the fuel lines at the pump area had a slight kink in it. It also made the car run like shit at higher speed. I simply got under the car and rearranged the fuel lines so they weren't kinked. All was well and the pump was again quiet. Check them out.

So I just got back from Canada. 1500 more trouble free miles. Jim, I brought two of the three heat sensors you sent to me. A couple things: One was labeled 2000 ohms, and the other 2500 ohms. But on my ohm-meter, they both gave readings of about 1750 ohms at about 80 deg. fahrenheit. This was with the setting of my ohmmeter at RX10. I out the 2500 ohm one in my car and drove about 15 miles and took a reading. 360 ohms! So now I'm asking myself, is my engine just getting way too hot? My valves are set at 004 on the intakes, .006 on the exhaust. On another note, my fuel pump seems awfully loud in the past week. I can hear it running inside the car. Didn't used to be able to do that. Still, no starting problems for the whole trip. -- Mike Wodkowski 72 FI SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
