morghen is right about the gunk all through the system: it's probably gotten into everything. There are several internal filters in the system, and while they're not prone to plug up, it could easily ...

I had the same thought as safe: there's some pretty obvious repair work. I suspected you'd find worse the more you dug, but the second set of pictures don't look that bad. Still, my rule with repair w ...

Absolutely remove the warm-up regulator (WUR), disassemble it, and make sure the passages are clear. Don't worry about screwing it up: as long as you don't lose any pieces and put it back together cor ...

I've never found any good source for such schematics, and it may be the kind of thing Bosch and such companies kept to themselves. VW and Porsche (and other manufacturers) never publish that kind of t ...

Hmmm, that's a tough one because you probably can't just clean it up and cover it over, but it's hard to tell how many spots really need to be patched. Generally, my rule has been that if I lightly st ...

Weird that you'd get a milky color: oil and coolant makes kind of a chocolate milkshake, but water doesn't normally react with gas itself, so you're more likely to see a rusty color if there's water c ...

It's going to be painful, but with the wiring diagrams and enough digging, you should be able to figure out how the alarm was wired in and what it's doing. I'm assuming you don't care about the alarm, ...

I wish I had a list too - it'd help a lot. The Porsche parts catalog is no use because they just put a Porsche part number on the VW part along with their markup; it'd be really helpful if they cross- ...

Update: after a little research, it appears that the plug was for protection, as the air coming from that hole passes through the plate, missing the filter, but not causing a leak by itself, as is met ...

I bet those adjustments came in with the switch to aluminum FDs, replacing the earlier iron ones. The iron FDs will be black if they have the original finish, which has probably flaked off of some, in ...

Could definitely be multiple problems. I'd focus on electrical and fuel supply first: maybe it's barely getting enough voltage to run the pump. Don't expect full battery voltage, but 7.5v is too low. ...

Dang, I was just in Eau Claire last month! I've got family there we usually go see once a year - but there's a chance I'll be back in Dec... I'm guessing some or all of it will be gone, but I'd defini ...

I only mention the distributor because if the nut for the hold-down plate wasn't tight enough, it might have moved a bit and thrown the timing off. If the nut is loose the distributor will rotate free ...

You should hear kind of a whining sound from the fuel pump - loud enough to be heard sitting in the car with the engine off, but not once it's running unless you go back there. If the pump got noticea ...
