Is your Mk1 actually "finding" and using all 16MB? If so, that's a first!

Found: yes. Using: don't know yet. I have the disk out of her mk1 here and am cloning it to a new drive for her mk2a, whose old disk died.

Seems I always have good luck at the meets. This year the front speakers in the van quit and the hard drive in my empeg kept losing songs and playlists and finally died. But Derrick got the speakers working and is copying my drive over now so all is ending well.

Looks like Laura's player is it, but perhaps schofiel would have another say about the firstness?

Man I wish there was a meet somewhere near me. You guys seem like would be a fun bunch to hang out with. I would have gone, tho I dont think my poor lil bug would have made it all the way out there with out some issue. Maybe if there is one next year Ill risk it.. Maybe then I can get my players memory upgraded.

All day but not all night, well part of the night I guess.

The meet continues since Ian's car was towed off to the Volkswagon dealer and he will be staying another night. Him and Derrick are off sight seeing while I prepare for quests at my house.

It sounds like it was a successful meet. Congratulations to Laura and everyone else! And this sounds rather ominous - having a car towed from the meet...

I'm back. Took me exactly 10 hours. I will post my pics tomorrow morning. Thanks again Laura. Sucks about Ian's car. What was the problem?

Hopefully all the money he made doing upgrades at the meet doesn't go straight into his car.

An attack of the blue smoke...

I had my local dealership change the oil on Wednesday before driving 900 miles on thursday/friday. When I checked the dipstick earlier, it looks like they overfilled it. Reading vwvortex, I suspect that the excess has caused the oil pressure to pump oil out of the crankcase vent and into the intake tract, thus leaving me with an intercooler, throttle body and intake manifold full of the stuff. Too much oil is bad for the cat too. I am seething to say the least.

Unfortunately, I can't be 100% certain that it isn't the headgasket or turbo oil seals. That's why it's sitting outside a VW dealership near Laura's, where they can sort it out before I put another 900 miles on it.

I'm hoping that it really is just a case of cleaning oil out of the intake tract, reducing the amount of oil in the engine, and sending the bill to the asshats that screwed it up.

At least I got to see Cincinnati, briefly visit Indiana and Kentucky, and try Cincinnati Chilli!

I have to publicly send a very big shouted THANKS! to both Laura and Derrick for digging me out of a hole. It would have been a real ordeal to be stuck out at the park without them around.

Uh, oh. Did you make it home OK (he says after having just shipped an empeg to what I assume is your home address for a memory upgrade)...

No, I'm still at Laura's waiting for the service department to call. Unfortunately for me it's one of those dealerships that actually uses the appointment system(*), so the fact that my car sat there overnight means absolutely nothing. They said they should get around to looking at it 'early afternoon'. At this stage I'm hoping that it can be fixed today and beginning to worry that it may not be.

* Arrgh. Why?! This sucks. Whenever I need a service back home my dealership works on the first come first serve priniciple which is a pain if you have kids, yet the first time that such a system would really work for me, the dealership insists on appointments. Grrr.
