Hopefully this will work. Thanks for your reply LNZBUG....By the way, I like your bug....I will post some pics sometime when I get the chance. It is just plain ol' stock black with no real mods yet besides a
k & n air filter....soon though.
Thank you. Don't worry too much about the timing belt. It's really only horrible when it snaps on a 1.8t. I wouldn't wait past 80k too much though, just to make sure. Good work on finding the source of your leak. My Trooper leaks there also and just tonight I was reminded of that when I sat down
