Re: SCIROCCO SURVEY for everyone

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

He he.  I'm only 17 (18 in Feb.), I own 2 Sciroccos and don't have a 
job! ;)  The thing is though, I had one and quit because I was tired 
of doing both work and school.  I have people telling me all the time 
to get a job. :)~  They're just jealous.  I've just been selling VW 
parts, new and used that were left over when my dad closed his 
shop and doing the occasional side job for people.  I'm known at 
school as the VW guy 'cause that's all they see me driving.  So 
when someone has a problem with thier VW, they bring it to me. :)  
Speaking of which, I just checked a car for a friend who was 
complaing about they're '89 Cabby doesn't always want to go into 
reverse.  They just had a clutch job done by a local shop and got 
charged close to $1000 for it.  Just a bit steep...any ideas what 
might be causing it? When I took a look at it, there was very little 
free play in the clutch, and although it most likely wouldn't cause 
thier problem, I'd think a clutch adjustment would come standard 
with a clutch job.  I drove it and it didn't act up for me.
