Good going with your wiring trouble victory! I hope that's all you need to fix during this driving season. |

Glad to see you found the wires that were causing the issue. I think that issue would drive anyone bonkers. You will never forget it. Dipping those in liquid black tape might not be a long term fix but cutting the ends off was a good idea. If the liquid tape comes off you might put some closed end crimp cap connectors on them. _________________ www.vwnos.com [email protected]

Replaced the front calipers and bled the front brakes today. The old ones had at least 41k miles and I could see uneven wear of the pads. At least one piston appeared frozen. These were already on the car when I bought it back in '18, so who knows how old/used they really were. _________________ "Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition
