Hey yall, just caught a ride home from work. Why? Cause I went out to my car during a break, and found a big puddle and a drip of gas coming from my car! It seemed to be located near the rear, and I noticed that the fuel filter and the hoses near the filter were wet with gas. People have mentioned things about air-cooled cars and their propensity for catching on fire, and it was enough to scare me from driving it. Yikes and damn. Had a mech buddy come outside to take a look, and he smelled the dipstick, as well as tried to set it on fire, (the dipstick, that is. Far from the vehicle) and he was pretty convinced that there was no "gas in the case". I'm still not sure what any of this means, but I would like to know if you have any ideas on the best and worst case scenarios! I'm off to go thumb through my Bentley, and my Muir book to see if I can find anything! Thanks in advance for your input. -----Original Message----- From: Mysterious J [mailto:mysteriousj@snet.net] Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 5:52 AM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: [T3] How much are original Sprintstars worth? My guess is that any original aftermarket Wide-5 wheels are going to be more valuable than their 4-lug counterparts. Here's the ad I was looking at: http://thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/index.mv?alert+200312090835236621 They seem kind of expensive, considering their condition. Then again, the same guy is selling the center caps for $35/each. I was going to go with BRM replicas, but after seeing this car: http://thesamba.com/vw/gallery/index.mv?photo+111246.jpg I've decided on the Sprintstars.
