Nice work, blacks good on cars in the daytime or light but for good all round can't beat white wheels, really stand out at night and in the day especially on a red car.

just

a little update, ordered new front wheelbearing today. Got some slack in the left front one. And my new head gasket and manifolds gaskets, have arrived.
Thinking of changing them next weekend. And now to the fun part, my freakin car is leaking , filles up with water in the trunk. water comes in with the lights by the look of things.

Any ideas`?? is this a typical problem on these cars??
I also need to change the oil seal on the right side of the tranny, driveshaft. anyone got the partnr???

Yeah the leaking in the boot is a common problem, the rubber might not be sitting right or the lights might have lost the seal, is there any water in the lights?

[urquattro-island]

yes

there is some water in the lights, but it is more in the boot. Any tips, where to buy new rubber or what to use??

[Acidburn]

Just clean all the water out of the lights, i've heard of people doing some small little holes in the bottom of the lights to let the water out, new seals would be good, the rubber seal for the boot if in good condition probably needs re-seating.

Rear Taillight Leaks
Symptoms: Water visible inside taillight, water seeping inside trunk/hatch, water collecting in right side storage bin (Coupe). The foam adhesive between the taillight and the body can be a source of the leaks.

Remove interior trim, then unbolt tailight assembly from inside the trunk. (This may require removing the license plate and center panel -- be careful not to crack the panel.)
GENTLY persuade the tailight assembly to separate from the body. Patience is a virtue.
Pull off the old gasket, and clean the adhesive and gasket bits off of the body and tailight assembly.
Find an auto parts store or autobody supply shop that carries 3/4 inch butyl window "tape". It's sticky black and playdough-like. Try 3M 08614 for about $10. Apply it to the tailight assembly and remount on the body.
Reassemble all parts in reverse order.

If the leak water is collecting in the passenger side housing, the problem might be with the lock/push button release for the hatch. Push the button in and look for cracks. They can be sealed with silicone adhesive or other weather-proof goop.
