Default Fuel Filter round 2. Tonight I am doing the Sedan's. Already checked and

that trapped nut is still trapped on that car. Cracked it lose already before I packed up last night so this one should be a breeze compared to the Avant last night....

Default change the bolt anyway, first time I did my fuel filter it came off nice and easy

second time it came loose like on your avant and spun freely

cursed myself for not changing it then knowing the problems some other people had.

Default Possibly playing VAG-COM to solve my airbag light issue. Also removed the CD player -- need to fix.

I have a supposedly good passenger side airbag that I want to plug into my harness to see if the light stays out -- if so, I'll swap out the airbag in the seat.

The CD changer periodically cuts out the left speakers. I assume I have a bad wire and will try to diagnose.

Default prolly a real good idea chris. I planned to put a liberal amount of marine grease on the treads

at the very least. I'm also just temped to leave the bolt out and use the hose clamp method. Some may scoff at this but it is in there just as secure and will be a breeze to take off next time.

Default was going to swap out mintex redbox pads for hawk hps

but now the brakes have been silent.

I cant get them to squeel not even when I try. Its like they know they were going to get ripped off and tossed in the garbage so they said, "mastah! I be good! really! I be good!"
