problems with the daily drivers...

 As the Audi a4 quattro is on the service, i thought it would be a good idea to drive the wbx bug. 

but some thing was bothering the bug, it had "bugs" always running the choke on. and didn't want to run good at any gears. stalled also in many places... But now its much better, 1. i started to change the plugs, and as you can se they look pretty dark. then i checked that the coolant is vanished...  but i haven't seen where's the spot that leaks. i put all i got, and bought today more from motonet. i also have new oil filter and 5 liters of oil. but have to change those this week... what i also did, i assembled the air temperature sender to the intake filter... so it should work better than before. there's still work, as i have to fix the leaking exhaust and maybe check the heater connections, so that it blows more to the front window....well there's always thing to do. studded wintertyres would be great also, as the little bug goes too easily sideways, almost twice the power and loads of torque... :-)


looks a bit black, have to buy some extra plugs to the wbx, 
but the problem is always, they ask what's the engine, 
what's the plate number?



i made it to the doctor today, and see my mom too, 
and autopelti hytönen too, and motonet etc...

Ghia repair, the black one

Sunshine, snow, old ghias & warm weather is a beautifull combination...I started the black ghia just to get some kicks, and it worked fine. I ran it 5-10 minutes and after that, i decided to take the garretts compressor side apart, because theres some leak of it. I heard that theres a turbocharger repair shop near by... 

Small happenings & things

No big things, just some studless winter tyres on the fuchs wannabe-wheels, for some snow action, hopefully with a video too... maybe they will fit the blue ghia? Got to paint them a bit...

"white knuckle ride" ;-)










after 1 hours work, i got the van in its "stable" now, huh... lots of showeling, even more throwing sand to the ground to make some trails, and still some of the doors were so frozen that i didnt get them open. but, still i like winter. ok, i broke someway the windshield wipers, but in the spering ill fix them again. ;-)






SNOW, hard low chassis, BIIIIG brakes, low profile summer tires, and a light car = you are in trouble :-)
