My own toolbox evolved from aircooled into watercooled. Now with the addition of a 2012 Jetta and A4 Audi, it's evolved even more.
Stuff I saw immediately to add to the list 1 Dremel tool to cut off those permanent crimp on hose clamps used by the Factory 2. Flywheel locking tool 3. Schley Bearing press tool (This paid for itself the first time I used it. but I understand it is much more expensive than when I first bought it) 4. Plastic body panel pry tools. 5 Harbor Freight Engine Support bar I used to think the Bentley was an essential. But I'm now finding the Internet Forums and Youtube far more detailed and informative. I recently broke the tabs off the rear taillight because the Bentley instructed me to pivot the taillight out and away after removing the mounting screw. It didn't tell me that other end of the light is a ball inserted into a socket. Broke those tabs off following the instructions in the Bentley. I should have checked with Youtube and watched someone else do it first. I'm sure I'll think of more specialty tools. I've fabricated a few of my own such as boost leak tools made from Home Depot PVC On Feb 19, 2015, at 1:15 PM, Larry Velez wrote: > Found this list from our air-cooled elders. > > http://www.socalautoparts.com/article_info.php/tools-you-need-work-your-volkswagen-a-10 > > What would you add or remove from this list for a 'minimal' toolbox > recommendation for anyone with an MK2 16V? > > - > Larry > 91 GTI 16V > > _______________________________________________ > a2-16v-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list > For list archives, see listinfo link above. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
