Get a New Beetle convertible with a blown gas engine & fit in a new/used TDI engine, or get a TDI New Beetle & have a shop cut off the metal top & a convertible top put on? I am looking for which would be easier & cheaper to do. (I am in the USA, we have no diesel convertibles sold here, FYI).

Don't they use electricity that is made when the car is in motion... so it doesn't use gas right?

It seems to be coming from condensation from the engine but we can't find where it is coming from and therefore how to fix it. Anyone else ever have this happen? Any help would be appreciated.

What can be causing this.
It starts first time in the morning. If I drive even for 10 minutes and turn the engine off then it will not start again for an hour or 2 untill it has completely cooled off.

Any Ideas?

I have to turn to the right a little bit for the bike to go straight and I don't know how to get it back. I think you have to loosen the front tire to do it but I don't know how to do that.

Scientist have determined that Jesus’ preferred mode of transportation, during his temptation in the desert, was the Toyota Highlander.

His disciples, on the other hand, had to make it with carpooling, since they all were of one Accord.

what do you think about the new discovery?

my engine is running hot, it was overhauled just a short while ago,
the water is up, I changed the thermostat, one odd thing is that
the temp. gauage reads normal but when I put on a remote infra red temp. sensor it reads 210 to 220 after going around the block
several times. when I put on the head gaskets I know that the
notation front is up front on the head gaskets. It is about 90 degrees here today but the engine should not run much more than
200 degrees, the engine has never boiled over just shows hot
when I use the hand held temp. reader.
any ideas? bob

Advertisers say a car gets 20 mpg as if that is something new and wonderful - yet it seems to me that cars have often had a much higher mpg. Am I remembering wrong?
My old '71 VW van has gotten 20 mpg. So what's the deal - anybody know?
