Started pulling the 2270 type 4 out of the bug. Seems the gearbox don't like all the torque. Spent a lovely 1.5 hours on side of highwway friday afternoon. I am hoping its only the throwout bearing has come off the clutch fork. Was driving nicely and a sound i didnt like gradually got worse and then i couldnt get any gears. But a big thumbs up to RACQ i am not a member but they stopped and towed me off highway to a safer spot to wait for the tow truck i called. I will be joining RACQ now.



This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Took the battery charger off; after 2 days of charging no dice..... Jump start from Tiguan; no dice. Mmmmmm seems my 7 year old battery has died for the last time :sniffle: Highly recomend NRMA batteries!

Put interior back in; attached missing bits of tinware then took dog to vet after I found tick (was paralysis but got it EARLY phew)

KBS is a very good, hard wearing paint. I used it on my pan, and haven't looked back in nearly four years.

Started the bus today, added some more sensors for data logging.
Now I'm logging :
-Air/fuel ratio x 2
-Throttle position
-Rpm
-Timing
-Volts
-Oil temp and pressures
-Fuel temp and pressures
-Intake and exhaust manifold pressures
-Air temp, before air cleaner after turbo and after inter cooler
-Exhaust gas temp 1, 2, and 3 rotor ports pre turbo and 1 after the turbo
-G forces
-injector duty

That's only 21of the 32 channels
Thinking about a heart rate monitor for fun at the strip or even better a passenger:lol:
