Re: New Member finally starting the fun

The guys here can be of great help if you show respect :)

There have been people whom come, demanded help, or haven't done a throughout search before asking for help, and asked something stupid like "wheres the battery" (I'm not kidding).

So the idea is, ask for help when you've hit a wall, and have no other options, that way you learn as you go. The best way to learn about your engine is to have it break, which is difficult, but I learned a lot on my 94 Golf GL when I had to replace the waterpump. After taking 8 hours to do it (I broke a bolt off in the water pump and had to get a new bolt) I got decent at it enough to cut that time down to 6 hours from install to finish.

But I did that myself, without questions, just with the manual. I respect you for looking for a solution to fuel economy instead of trying to push the HP to the limit. Thats exactly what I'm trying to do (when and if I ever get it out of the garaaaaaaage)....

Good luck in your venture.
