Pulling the Crack Pipe

VWvortex Forums: HELP! need parts in SoCal, like, NOW!!

Almost there. My car is now sitting out in the parking lot, the cooling system some-what in pieces. My friend Ray and his buddy Thanase came by this afternoon and lent a hand, followed by pints of Guiness at the Red Rock.

Few more parts from the dealer tomorrow, and I'll be good to go. My thought now though, is while the whole thing is apart, might as well replace the water distribution pipe (known among VR6 guys as the "crack pipe") with a racing-grade billet aluminium job that some guy on the East coast Fabs.


sweeeeeeet.
