the *only* problem i have with the advice that flew in this thread is that
the OP has been told to basically buy every single ****ing printed book that
mentions a vw....waste...bull****....i'm not condemning the Muir book, it
has about as much credibility as the VW Mags we've been subjected to over
the years....but we don't suggest every newbie get a susbscription to those
to learn the *proper* way to maintain/repair their cars....just have trouble
suggesting a book that is known to be wrong and potentially damaging, yet is
touted as a "repair manual"....its a bull**** waste of time for anyone who
*really* wants to work on their car....(as you have seen with your "real"
manuals)

where i chose to do it...
