OK, I >think< we got front brakes.� Rears, uh, no.� But I can get it home on the front ones.�
My toad supplier called, leaving town, got to get the toad NOW.� So I did.� This afternoon, got a battery in it and spun it - fired up nicely.� BRakes are marginal, but there's no magic in VW brakes atall.� Little thing only has 134K on it - for a Jetta Diesel, barely broken in.� Next week it will get a new timing belt, cos I have no idea when the ione on it was put on.� Alls I need now is a set of vinyl letters to put STONE TOAD on the back of it.
�
I stopped off to see Ted Petty and get him to agree to help drive the parts coach home tomorrow afternoon.� And had a look at his Avion - nice coach, that.� The Avion insides are a lot better materials than the GMC.�

This afternoon, we go for brakes.� I noticed the other day when I did a cursory look at the master cylinder, one reservoir is pristine clean and the fluid looks good, the other is scurvy.� And the BRAKE light is lit.� And the pedal hits the floor.� PO 'saw a leak back there somewhere"./� We will try for some front brakes.. if I can get them to work, I can get it home.� It's parked nose down, gravit bleed is a viable option... particularly since I don;t have a pressure bleeder.
