Drove it as much as possible. Day 2 after readjusting the throttle plate, timing, idle speed, co-pot, and cleaning the ISV. So far so good no problems.

Re: What did you do for your Volkswagen today?
I haven't drivin the Jetta in days and I came out this morning to find. Somebody had pushed a shopping cart or something in to the rear of my Jetta. So much for a near perfect paint job. It left 2 deep scratches in the top of the rear bumper, It pushed all the way to the deck lid and left a little rub mark on the paint (I think that will buff out) It also left a little mark on the plastic euro tub
I already talked to the painter. Looks like I will be having that resprayed. Thanks for not leaving a note jerk-wads. and they obviously moved what ever they hit the car with (hiding the evidence) Everyone probably already guessed but, I always park way out at the back of the lot, near nothing and with the winds lately have been looking for any stay shopping carts. I feel like I did all I could to protect my investment.....back to the never ending project. Thank you cruel world for set back. Hope everyone else is having a better Monday

New fuel lines in the Square this weekend. She starts great now that all the gas doesn't drain back to the tank while she's parked. Why didn't I do this sooner? The bus battery is charged and ready to go. And I even replaced a broken parking brake cable on my truck for good measure. I love spring projects.

I have the paint and the painter already said he would repaint the front bumper. So I guess doing the rear again isn't that big of deal. It sucks to re-do something when you aren't the one who messed it up. It coulda been worse.
