I had an interesting thing happen to my a4 jetta recently.
It had been running oddly, sometimes refusing even to start
so I brought it to a mechanic I have used in the past as I
am not competent to repair computer problems. Long story
short, the guy spent days trying to track down the problem
with no success. Ultimately he replaced the ecu with a known
good used one. Car runs great now, problem solved. Sort of.
He surmised that someone had been in the old computer chassis
and had mucked about because to him it looked as if the
case had been opened. He gave me the old computer and a couple
of days later I opened it up just for shizz and giggles. I found
about half an ounce of water in it and stains from earlier
wettings! So I guess I'm off to track down the source of the
water which I suspect has to do with a clogged drain from
the evaporator. My 80 diesel pickup has a new head, new arp
studs and is back together. I just hooked up the exhaust and
I'm now doing some brake rebuilding and improving by using
braided lines all around and going to the vented disks in front.
So, any suppliers u all especially like for brake items? I'm looking
to replace the drums shoes and slave cylinders in back as well
as new disks and pads for the front.
One other item, I'm looking for wheel bolts approximately 33 mm long.
Anyone know where I can find such an item?
