Well, thanks to Damon (Turbo MKI) My car is running again, drove it into work today too :zzzzz:

The good.
It runs, runs well.

The bad.
Drives like ass.
Needs new brakes.
Needs new tires.
Needs new pitman arm.
4th gear is jammed??
Windsheild whipers do not workie.

So far, the right front caliper it sticking, the rotor is warped because of it. No problem tho....should have the repaired as soon as I get the time to do it.

4th gear was there when I picked the car up, I dropped my girl off to follow me to my house from the shop with my other car....1,2,3,4........No 4th gear. I think that something is just lodged in the linkage. When I took the shifter out to look there was a ton of what appeared to be grease...but petrified. I can move the linkage into 4th, but it does not click...it sticks and slowly comes back out when pushed with a screw driver. Idk...any ideas? Prob wouldn't be a good idea to start pouring stuff in there. Ill have to get my vaccum out and try to get it cleared out in there.

Other than that, we now have one more MKI on the streets...slowly coming back together. Ill continue the updates.

Its a shame it took this long. Now comes the long road of rebuilding him.

I dont know if you need a wiper motor like I did. Found it on Ebay decently priced

Well, Im thinking it may be a switch....idk. My left turn signal does not work, neither do my windsheilfd wipers. Ill have to do some testing.
