True indeed.... You know good point, that could well be both issues, thanks, I am feeling better about it being a reading issue and not a main bearing issue or anything....

yeah I could try to brag, but two things...the Jetta is kinda of a nerd car lol, although you can push some good hp and torque out of those little diesels and I am getting rid of it and the Supra will be my primary car, I was driving 180 miles a day, so the 44mpg in the VW was extremely needed, not I live 1 mile from my office...so not a big deal what the mpg is or that it may not be as reliable as a new vehicle.

So do you work odd hours or are you like me and playing a little from your work desk? Just curious...

anyway well perhaps I will have sometime this weekend to dig a little deeper, yeah let me know on the intake, as I need to get a replacement in the next couple of weeks. I would like to have it up and running 100% in the next 3-4 weeks.

oh yeah and you better step it up to Terabytes....forget gigs...lol

We'll see ya - Charles
