dare I say it?

Nope. Not going to say the vw is fixed. It’s just temporarily running right now. This past week I had to replace a wheel bearing seal that I had improperly put back on the car when reassembling it, causing it to be cut up rather than keep the transmission fluid from leaking out. After replacing it I let the car sit for a couple days, and it seemed to still be leaking some… but after unleashing a can of brake parts cleaner on the area to clear out the excess fluid sitting around, it seems to be dry still.
Yesterday (Saturday 11/5) I drove the car around the neighborhood some and adjusted the timing a little. Seems to be running ok, though I’ve got to have an exhaust leak somewhere since it does do a semi-backfire thing when decelerating with the car in gear (it’s always done that). One thing I should order is new brake pads as I have one nearly worn out, but I’m not sure why as it’s only one pad on one wheel, and only one end of that one pad… oh well. next time I do a parts order I’ll get some.
