My lord...Not my 60 this time but i thought this was pretty impressive. My dad asked me to look at his 03 Jetta tdi for some excessive road noise and low power. I figured out the noise was a bad wheel bearing. I pulled the intake apart and found the throttle response problem

This is the second time in 150k miles it’s plugged up. Basically because the car gets used for a lot of short trips the EGR is constantly costing the intake with carbon and oil and eventually this happens.

Also pulled the intake off for a thorough cleaning

Now that’s a great shot!So I've been reading through this thread over in the 80 section and it's nice to see all the cool things that people have done to, and with their 80's. I did a search, but didn't find one in the 60 section, so I thought I would start one. If one already exists, I appologize!
So, what did you do with your 60 this weekend?
Me?
-Fixed the Tail light and fuel gauge wiring issues.
-greased the front driveshaft
-topped up the PS, coolant, brake and clutch reservoirs
-found the coolant leak, replaced a bad hose clamp.
-filled my veggie tank so I'm ready for the week!
Most pictures of this would be pretty boring, so instead I'll include one from a few weekends ago, when I spent about an hour and a half chipping 1/2" of ice off my truck. (We had pretty bad freezing rain)! Yes, that's a rock chipping hammer...

Finished up my engine bay clean up (timing cover gasket/painting, hoses, belts, shroud, radiator, valve cover gasket/painting, heater pipe plating) BUT most importantly installed La Cucaracha to annoy my daughter on her phone.

I have two boys (15 and 17) that are cruiserheads. They are getting second nature on manual transmission driving. Driving it daily at an abandoned parking lot and doing hill starts. Next will be some wheeling. Not ready yet for black bear pass. Not sure I am.
Price for use of vehicle, wash it.

@mattressking is that a Luft poster? Aircooled and LCs are two expensive garage mates.
so once they get good enough starting off in it, are you gonna make them swap out the clutch?I have two boys (15 and 17) who are cruiserheads.
