I recently had to replace the vacuum diaphragm thingy that mounts to the
intake manifold.  It looked okay but the rubber had degraded from the heat.
I took it off the car and blew into it. The rubber material bulged out and
actually became all porous.  Never seen anything like it.

Subject: cruise control busted...

The cruise in my 1990 Jetta refuses to work any longer... I'm not
about to pay big bucks to fix it, but if I can figure out the problem
myself, it'd be worth it -- I barely ever use it, but I just drove
from Halifax to Ottawa and back over two days (nearly 3200km total)
and the cruise would have been nice... :)

Are there some things I should check that commonly break on the cruise
control?

I've been having a lot of problems with fuses blowning on me lately --
power mirrors seem to kill a fuse the first time I hit the switch to
move them...  and I was having problems with the horn fuse for a bit
too until I replaced the horns (they were shorting out) -- but no
others seem to be broken...  The fuses in my car don't seem to
completely match up to either the owner's manual or the guide on the
fuse box cover with respect to what devices are hooked up to what
fuse... argh.

Thanks,

Adam.

Any way you want it, that's the way you read it.
