The breather issues are well-known and documented, and despite the small sample I’ve worked with/owned, there doesn’t seem to be any consistency of when you can expect it to occur. It seems like the breather tube that goes into the back of the engine will clog up around 100k or thereabouts, but

The difference in cost between a 182 at 150mph vs anything that will cruise 200 (saving 30 minutes for Curt's flight) will cost you a LOT of money. I can fly the 182 out of a 1200 foot grass runway comfortably. Few 200 MPH planes can do that. I suspect that Curt might be able to clear 1200ft of

Yes, the implication is that they replaced the stock air suspension with “coilovers”, which are nothing more than a shock absorber with a spring on the outside like a McPherson strut, sort of. This is commonly done by people who are not bright enough to troubleshoot the system and get it

Angie's car likes a heavier oil. For the BEW engine VW spec includes 5w30 or 5w40. Her car will leak a quart of 5w30 every 1000 miles regular as tiddles. With 5w40 it leaks/burns a quart in about 8,000, quite acceptable for an 18 year old car I think. -Curt On Sunday, September 10, 2023 at
