Two worthless wrenches on a 356.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Re: 2018
Good one David!
I wish you great health in the new year, it would be great if you are able to get out and about, perhaps even attend the Stoddard swap in June.

Re: 2018
David - Happy New Year to you too! The only thing I ever found that I could use an 18mm wrench on was the chain tensioner lock nut on a 3.8 Jag
I was at a swap meet last summer and a guy had 18, 20, 23 and 25 mm sockets. When I told him these are all useless, he got indignant and threw me out of his spot.
Best wishes to all members for a great 2018.

Re: 2018
My 1996 Passat TDI has 18mm bolts on the front caliper mounting bracket.
BTW did you know the 96 - 97 Passat TDI Wagon can hold almost 25 gallons when filled slow and
using the vent lever inside the fuel filler.
When cruising in 5th gear a dialed in 96 TDI Wagon can get 50 mpg.
Thats 1250 miles on one tank of fuel ! Probably the most range of any car ever imported in the USA ?
One guy claimed to have gotten 1400 miles on a tank.

Re: 2018
My friends over at the 914 site are showing photos of their 2.0 & 1.8 badges. Of course, they did the same sort of thing in 2017.
Happy motoring in 2018.

Re: 2018
Martin, much as I like the idea of going over 1000 miles on a tankful my bladder seems to have a limit coincident with the time it takes to travel nonstop on a tankful in my 356 at freeway speeds. Country road driving is half that probably exacerbated by bladder jostling requiring more frequent stops for relief.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.
