BB is a 36yr old daily driver so even though I do baby her and though she does have a fairly resent rebuilt motor. She is still pretty old. I love her and I hate when she aches. Which brings me to my concerns. #1...The tranny seems to function fine when I can get it ingauged,but it seems (as of yesterday) the shifter is having a little trouble in 1st and 3rd takes about 4 tries just to get it in and then it pops out somtimes. Is it a shift linkage issue. #2...the other issue is that she tends to run a little hot,in part because the idle seems to be a bit higher then normal,but if I give the gas a quick rev the idle drops back to normal. I think there may be a oil pressure issue as well,cause once ina while the motor burps oil out of the breather box and onto the block,which causes a Bond-esk smoke screen for any wouldbe spies on my tail. I do have an external oil cooler,but that seems to be working fine. gimme some of your colletive vw knowledge folks, thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
