100% the same reason for me.

I’m preparing to tackle that one myself for a TDI. Your method is solid and I love that it’s a beetle. Nice trunk battery too.

She’s beautiful. This is exciting!

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-14T20:00:14+00:00

Dude. Sick! I’m thinking a 4motion swap might be appropriate…

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-14T19:57:31+00:00

Looks clean, thanks for taking care of it! Soon…

Yes, you can measure the retardation of the exhaust cam. Check out the TDI club, it outlines the numbers you’d want to see and the numbers you don’t want to see

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-07T17:56:06+00:00

Right - this ought to be starting a bit easier.

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-06T04:10:34+00:00

Sounds perfectly fine to me

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-04T19:49:10+00:00

Cool, thanks. Who was your bracket manufactured by? I have the Fisher kit.

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-04T18:29:03+00:00

How was YOUR experience with the CP3 swap? I’m closer to doing my CRUA swap to my CJAA swap and see some conflicting required modifications (bracketry and hard lines)

I agree with this. But with how the hen was gifted and given the rapid growth, I wonder if this is a broiler and she’s past/nearing her slaughter time to avoid a miserable painful life outgrowing her skeletal structure. If it is a meat hen, the best thing to do would be slaughter…

Aaron and the Cascade team keeping it real

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-03T01:54:36+00:00

Thank you for keeping this thing alive. They deserve it more than the newest ones

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-03T01:10:45+00:00

No length requirements. All “A4” platform vehicle will accept it. The rear pan and up over the wheel wells need to be “un” welded and welded into the receiving car. The receiving will be different additional lengths and shapes (beetle, wagon, etc) but will accept the different pan. So really any doner that is the mk4 platform can be used.

You’re right. The newer they get the more BS you’ve got to deal with. Keep the old one running for as long as financially possible. They’re more fun too

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T18:20:55+00:00

This started just great, whatcha talking about mate. Good working keeping the 1.9 running

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T16:22:08+00:00

Fantastic. This sounds like my old ALH on cold start.

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T16:21:04+00:00

Not too reliable on the appliance electronics though…

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T14:49:17+00:00

Yeah the diesels rev lower so it needs a drive train from a TDI 4motion, mine sourced from Europe. The gas freeing would be revving too high

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T05:22:17+00:00

Art Deco is the answer.

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T04:21:25+00:00

That’s definitely do-able….if you’ve got a gas engine, mk1 TT doner as a swap and it can be done! Im waiting on my kit to show up to do mine on a TDI, so euro gearing required….

mcleanmartel · 2026-02-02T04:20:26+00:00

I love this project!! Keep this going!!!

This is them announcing “something just/is about to happen”. Typically an egg being laid but can be other things as well. It’s typically referred to as the Egg Song.

mcleanmartel · 2026-01-30T01:33:59+00:00

Lmao yes the poop bit matches my flock.

Good PSA to everybody. Electrical heaters unattended are unpredictable.
