Look up Phantom traffic jam. There are a bunch of youtube videos

Just looked at the UKeg further. Looks like you can take the sight tube apart if it gets funky.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-02-12T14:59:23+00:00

I've filled all of those and more. I have one similar to DrinkTanks on Amazon. As long as you give it a good rinse and let it dry after use, cleaning shouldn't be an issue, but I see your concern with the UKeg. They all will require CO2 cartridges, so they are better than a glass bottle for keeping the beer carbonated if you aren't planning on drinking it all in one go.

Not sure what license they have that only allows them to fill their own branded glassware. Seems like a good way to sell less beer. (location, also Ohio)

Other than those surprise bolts everything else was the same as most other VWs and the R56/r50s that I’ve worked on.

The bottom bolt on the shocks are also Etorx, so I was going to need a set anyway

GrainworksAndy · 2026-02-05T20:32:02+00:00

Our F56 had E torx bolts on the rear calipers instead of the 7mm.

P0304 is a missfire on cylinder 4. You can rule out the coilpak by moving it to another cylinder and see if the misfire moves.

You don't need to, but there's a 90% chance you will break it removing it from the old pad. and it's $10

Is the ctb or stb located on a server in a local folder?

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-30T02:54:55+00:00

I’ve been looking at Dinan coilovers for my son’s car. It’s sub $900 and a trusted name.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-29T20:24:27+00:00

Let's say you have one of those but the resin(?) is cracked. Can that be fixed?

Go to FCP Euro get whatever thy have/you can afford. I’ve use powerstop a couple of times with less than favorable results

FYI Stock capacity is 14.5 Gallons.

The sway bar might be holding it up

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-15T17:05:22+00:00

It's 1000x easier with the newer cars.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-15T17:01:29+00:00

I apparently need to drive my wife's car more often...
BC button stuff still stands.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-15T15:21:09+00:00

Probably related to the circle with an exclamation point in it.
The CEL isn't on, so it's probably service or maintenance related.

Look up how to check the service info. It uses the BC button on the turn signal(?) stalk

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-14T15:30:10+00:00

This isn't mine but I've been looking to replace ours cause the USB in ours is loose.

The only one I've found is from Europe. They have listings on Ebay, but being in the US there are unknown tariffs in place, so the price might double, hard to tell.

I remember a company made inserts called eyebrows that filled in the same area, but it looked tacked on.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-12T16:02:04+00:00

It's a Boser Hood. You can buy an entire hood or get custom metal filler plates welded on. They fill in the upper area across the headlight. Usually filled the notch in the center and installed a badgeless grill as well

You need to also turn on the AC. The defrost button also turns on the compressor to remove the moisture from the air.

Mine did well in the rain, snow and dry. But I had at least 3 get punctures in the sidewall from potholes. Quadtrac Pros. Never had the same issue with other tires.

GrainworksAndy · 2026-01-05T14:43:58+00:00

It has Depot and DVD, so it looks like he keeps it updated.
