Hey folks.  I have a 1989 Cabriolet that, overall, is a great little car.

is pretty rough for maybe 30 seconds or so, then it smoothes ...

I am sure my head gasket is blown, thus have begun a strip down today to
replace it. All going well until I got to the cover around the cam timing
belt.... The outer upper piece comes off easily, but I cannot get the inner

The "worn front brake pads warning light" just popped on on my 2000 VW
Beetle 1.8t tonight. How soon do I need to have my brake pads replaced
after that light comes on? Do I need to stop driving the car until I get

I added about a 1/4 cup of Mercon V ATF to my PS reservoir.
Immediately realizing my mistake, I siphoned out all of the PS fluid and ATF
in the reservoir and refilled it with PS fluid, I then siphoned out all of
the fluid again and refilled it a second time with PS fluid, I then ...

Went to my local German and Sweidh the other day ofr a genuine VAG oil
filter for my Golf. "can't get 'em any more" says the man. Says that
VAG won;t supply them to G&S any more. "Should be a law against that",
I said. Anyway he proferred an alternative item with the brand name

Is this a reasonably possible job?  its a 1997 1.9tdi.
I've heard that many many components will need to be swapped...i.e. axle
shafts, break disks, black boxes ect.  Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks to what I can best describe as a cock-up, I have two unopened
1l bottles of engine oil that's no use to me. If you'd like it, please
