There is a nut there, and a washer that you have to bend a bit to undo the nut. Just remove the nut and washer and pull the alum sleeve off. > Also, one final question (maybe two or so), relating > to FI systems and the motors they go in.

If your car was originally bought in the US, or even picked up in Europe and brought back under the VW Tourist Delivery Program, then it was originally FI. If this is the original engine case the engine number will begin with U, which was a FI engine number. If you find a different letter there then let us know what you find and we can tell you what it once was. BTW, there's always the possibility that the case is not original, but if you post your VIN and engine # we can tell you whether they seem to match or not. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
