A beetle convertible was brought in for me to investigate rough running. Massive amounts of end float was found, along with quite large oil leaks.
The engine was pulled and investigated further. Unfortunately the barrels and pistons were also found to be damaged and a couple of cross threaded spark plugs added more issues.
After discussion, the chap decided to go for a full turn key engine supplied by The VW Engine Company. This was orderd and fitted here at the workshop keeping the warranty with the engine.
Whilst it was in, a full health check was carried out and any issues found were raised with the chap. A full new set of shock absorbers were fitted, a steering issue rectified and repaired correctly, gear selecror bushes renewed in the tunnel andand also 4 new tyres fitted and balanced.
Another happy Dubber passing through.
