A LIST OF HELPFUL DIY's

Please give credit where credit is due! These DIY's were completed ENTIRELY by Gary Thompson, Ph.D.  Please make sure to say thanks to Gary, and if you ever see him at a bar, buy em a beer.  These DIY's are more complete than anything Bentley has ever written!!

PLEASE ALSO NOTE : GARY HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AFFILIATION WITH GRUVENPARTS.COM !!! DO NOT CONTACT HIM DIRECTLY CONCERNING ANY PARTS SOLD ON THIS WEBSITE.  HE HAS MERELY GIVEN PERMISSION FOR ME TO MIRROR HIS GREAT WRITE UPS FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

Please also DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THESE DIY's to another website without first getting approval from either GruvenParts.com or Gary!! He worked hard on all this stuff so you dont waste time trying to learn it on your own.  He is VERY generous, but he deserves your asking him before you start posting this stuff on your own website!

Please also note that these DIY's are to be used for REFERENCE ONLY.  While Gary has probably forgotten more about VW's than the rest of us will ever learn in our lifetime, neither he nor me are responsible if you screw something up.  Bottom line - dont touch your car if you dont know what you are doing.
