I love you as a sister, one who owns the same car I have. This message
is for everybody though- Don't take your car to some Muffler/ Brake
shop. If your cousin the Rabbit Racer works there then OK, but otherwise
leave them to unknowing K-car drivers.

Invest in the local VW-Audi shop, it's a symbiotic relationship. They
will keep you on the road, you (we) will put there kids through college.

Right on track about the R. Seally (sp) book, it was written for folks
who never touched a wrench in their lives, but is useful even when you
already know what to do.

Say, wasn't someone working on a repair shop registry?

I took my (rip) Ghia to a Monroe shop once. Once.

PS- Extra credit; What type suspension did you put on your car?
