this is what i think of the 1.8T

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What a great idea  *****flashback to the design team for the 1.8T******  "Well Hans, I was cleaning out my desk the other day and found all these 1/2 moon valve cover pieces left over from the design of the 1975 1.7l Rabbit valve cover, how can we use them?  says Olef "We can jam them up against the firewall, under the foolish chain tensioner, the flat rate guys will love it" 
 
It was starting to seep, so while i'm waiting for my VVME delivery  i decided to do it. really wasn't too bad, i have done 1 on a 2.8. I should do these on the side for people, save them a ton of $$$

COme on now, it takes less than 2 hours.  But i guess you have a 01 since the nonVVT cars dont have those.  But thats what you get for having a wbo2 and vvt..... STOCK

Thats a bummer.

yea, it would have been like an hour start to finish, (well, it was ready for re assembly in an hour) but i cleaned the breather pipe out and did some other misc crap while i was there, including a CTS. i'm glad i did it before it farted out going down the road.

ahahaah pretty funny, we all get there at some point

LOL, I have one of those moments almost every time I work on my car!
