Marc!
Im convinced not to go ahead or plan such a conversion. I will save this
post for reference along with all your (and quite a few others') earlier posts.
I really admire your knowledge when it comes to explaining things. I am
just wondering, have you ever thought of writting a book??? Or maybe a detailed
website on VW tech???
Not a joke but a very serious idea which must be considered. Or if you dont
have time on hands maybe your posts can be compiled as a Q&A collection?
On a local wheels related website I am regarded as the VW master despite my
rants I know nothing. I always tell them, wait till you see Marc Vellat's
posts!!!
Best wishes,
Asad
