agreed CIP is two weeks at best..

I think I read the other post of the issue you are having also.. not sure what you ordered is the cure.. but it shouldn't hurt to tune it up I say shouldn't because parts these days... OH.. the HORROR!!

Thank Ryan, I will let u know by thurs night.

suck...

I hae been buying my tune-up parts from aircooled.net, they aren't lightning fast or cheap but they only sell the higher quality stuff and ship relatively fast, they are still about 10 times faster then CIP1.

yeah yeah, I will know next time.

John (Aircooled.net) is a ripoff, he sells the same stuff as everyone else, just for more money. Stick with VW Parts Unlimited or So Cal Imports, or order through your local shops.

Maybe so, but John doesn't sell too many chinese parts. Case in point, I bought my rear wheel cylinders locally (I am not going to name from who here), chinese, both were leaking pretty bad with less then 8,000 miles on them... . I bought a set from John, ya they were a few bucks more but they were at least Brazilian, 5,000 miles on them so far and they are holding up just fine. I have been buying from rockauto.com lately, mainly because brake parts for my early bay have been a little interesting to find lately. So I ordered some normally priced front right cylinders, they had some regular chain parts store name, when I looked at the box it said Made in Germany. John and all the other online VW peeps want $75 ea for those, rock auto charged $19...yay me. I will not say anything bad about rockauto.

Got the Bug running again.
Also, Waiting for my OG pop out window from the Samba in California.

So what was the problem?

It can be either point or Condenser, that is what I replace. Coil is still good but put new one anyway.
