Hating to be the guy who resurrects an old thread for his own purposes, but I'm hoping that one of y'all can clue me in on where to look for this connection.

Unless you have the engine running, the Durametric numbers for deviation won’t tell you anything. The value is the difference between what the engine controller commands the camshaft adjustment to be...

With all due respect, taking the belt off is about a 30 second operation. Just do it.

So, in general, not bad news, as I read it.

You clearly have vacuum leaks to clean up. Getting the injectors out, IIRC, is a bear of a job, so I would revisit that thought later. How did the...

The only way to diagnose is to inspect. The outer tie rod ends are super easy to see once the tire is off, obviously - for the inners, you will have to pull off the boot.

Um, are the cable connections clean and tight? What happens when you try to jump start it?

Begin with the basics.

Available at your local auto parts store, typically. You do need a UV light source as well.

And, to your original question, no, you don’t need the Super Secial Porsche Coolant.

I agree with JFP. You didn’t do that - it’s been like that since day one, and is nothing to worry about.

There are a couple of basics to check - perhaps you have already done these. First thing would be to check the grounding of the DME. See if there is any voltage between it and the negative terminal...

You will need to replace the entire latch assembly, sadly. It’s not particularly difficult, but it is rather expensive, considering that the only piece which has failed is far from that.

Sadly, what you see is what you get.

We owned a B5.5 Passat (an 02, so a year older than my 986) for many years, and the VW/Audi switchgear was orders of magnitude better, in terms of feel, than...

Stating this with no clue as to what they cost, if you are rebuilding an engine, A) the cost is a trivial portion of the total; B) you are rebuilding the engine, so rebuild it!

So, you have correctly sized wheels - 7x17 front, 8.5x17 rear. You don’t have correctly sized tires on them. Should be something like 205/50x17 front and 255/40x17 rear.

Not saying that has a...

Something is very odd here, as your car started life with 7x17 wheels front and 8.5x17 wheels rear. So, what size is actually on the car? Given the tires you are running, it seems like the latter.
