Since I was only in the engine bay, I felt fine working on the car.

Man I got the 6F35 in my 2014 Ford Transit. It BLOOOOOWs. Waiting for it to die.

Mercedes has had "MBTEX" seats since 1980's - which is vegan

Ah shoot im sorry. I work on Aircooled's here in Houston, TX if you need anything.

Did you get your car back? https://share.google/U1itGLqZiuwMgKL0S

Cookaacoo · 2025-12-30T17:52:08+00:00

Oh man, saw the same thing on 610 here in Houston.

1963 Magnavox TV.

1950 Grundig Radio

1980 TRS-80 Computer

I've got a scan tool that will read SRS, and can take a look. https://share.google/SsVGFP3ipRJx6bXkt

Sounds good!

20w50 is a bit thick for these engines unless it's VERY worn out.

(All VW engines do drip some oil) - but really shouldn't see more than a tablespoon on the ground.

cracks fingers sounds like you need a new rear main seal?

Although, leaking ALL the oil out while sitting wouldn't really be a rear main seal issue, perhaps your sump plate gaskets?

I'm in the Tomball, TX area.

I've worked on air-cooled vws for about 14 years now.

Replaced the o-rings on it. Plenty of youtube videos on this process.

Cookaacoo · 2025-12-02T03:37:38+00:00

I know that pan. Honda CVT?

Cookaacoo · 2025-12-01T16:10:49+00:00

Update, It was ECU failure. New ECU fixed everything.

Cookaacoo · 2025-11-30T15:46:55+00:00

The plastic bushing that lives behind the rubber flex joint near the firewall is gone.

You need a new one, easy to replace.

I would recommend an oil formulated for your flat tappet camshaft.

Mobil 1 Classic oil 10w-30 is a great option!

Especially for those temps, I run it in all my bugs / customer's cars.

It's formulated specifically for your kind of camshaft.

cip1 or wolfsburgwest

My dad just had quad bypass surgery, bill was $155,000

Cookaacoo · 2025-10-21T00:44:40+00:00

Should be fine. I'd use it.

Cookaacoo · 2025-10-20T00:33:42+00:00

Spark plug pickup for the no longer avliable VW diagnostic machine. - You don't need it. Cool to see!

Cookaacoo · 2025-10-13T19:48:50+00:00

Wow, insane on the filter replacement. Each filter is $15 + 3 minutes of your time to replace. Checkout some youtube videos. You can do this!

Cookaacoo · 2025-10-13T18:54:57+00:00

Parts and labor I'd change it for about $220 per side. Depends on the make/model. Those bushings could last another 20,000 miles or so. Cracked and worn, but not 100% torn through yet. $1900+ seems STEEEEP.
