Why was it bad in ice and snow? I find more powerful cars (barring traction
control and the like) are harder to drive in ice and snow because it can be
difficult to modulate the power to the wheels...

There are a number of shops like that. I have found one that I trust
here in town. They are honest, do good work and are willing to put up

Bought a jukebox off a kid last week on CL. He's had it up for several months
starting at $500, and hasn't budged on the price. I'm not that interested, as
it's a CD juke, not a vinyl one. He claims it works fine but needs some TLC
to equalize the amp. Hmm.
Anyway, I start throwing offers
Agree completely. I've owned several VW Beetles - all were great in the

OK, so what is the difference between an alternator on a 2.5 turbo and
one on say a 300E? They look the same to me. Looking at the EPC, the
300E has a 70 and 80 amp available, the 2.5 turbo uses a 70 amp but has
a different part number than what would be on a 300E. The 603 powered

No slip in the tranny, so all the torque is delivered to the rear
wheels. Hard to keep the tires from spinning, not helped by the not
so very great tires it had on it.
My 300D isn't much better, very poor traction without snow tires.

Are the pulleys different diameters? If so, swap them. If not, go ahead and
try it. You probably only need the regulator/brushes and claening the slip
rings to get the 602 alternator working again though ---
