The above is for OEM carpet... check with your local dealer to see exactly
how much is retail price.

All other parts I'd buy from autohausaz.com

Thanks again!

Valve seals are pretty big job for DIY guy... but can be done... You need an
air compressor, a compression gauge hose that can fit the compressor
hose...(these hold the valves up while you are working on it)... strong
magnet finger or any strong magnet will do... and the special valve spring
compressor that cost nearly $200.

Yeah I did it... I bought the tool... It is about 2 days job at leisure
pace. You definitely need service manual to guide you... You have to rotate
the engine at a certain angle to work on a pair of cylinders...

That's right... forget the platinum... not really great unless you don't
want to change plugs... I always use Bosch Super.

Tiger, you should consider making and selling videos like the "Bug Me"
videos for classic VW restoration. They sell for like $20 and are
avail in sets. I could see a market for filming a valve adj for
diesels, changing shocks, vacuum systems, power windows, diesel adnd
gas general maint, etc.

Mmm... Gonna have to find a Tiger head so people can recognize me... Maybe
I'll wear a kimono robe with it. This kinda reminds me of Hughe on Comic
Chat that Microsoft made long ago when IRC was very popular.
