[Vwdiesel] Vwdiesel Digest, Vol 64, Issue 21

Hi,
What is the proper brake pad material for 89 Jetta's ?
I would like to get the correct type so it doesn't eat 
the rotors. Has anyone heard from Scott Kair?  I tried to 
email him but it got bounced back. 
Thanks, Jeff

Yeah, I remember the bio-diesel from cats conversation...Sorry Loren, I haven't been up to town on a junker hunt for a couple of years, but when I do I'll try to find your lights...Hello Iain, Don't worry about it, done this a few times on the TD and the 1.6D Transporters. The flywheel is strong enough... I just jam a crowbar in there...
