So ,we are going camping for the unsuperbowl weekend with the wet westies VW club. So I fired up the 4x4, been sitting since october, ole girl fired right up.
Aired up a low tire, ran it out to work to do a complete fluid check, tire check, visual, make sure no catastrophic leaks on trip. Noticed boost was a little lazy, so while under hood airing up the airbags I noticed some oil on my turbo exit elbow, clamp was tight due to bottoming out. Put on a new clamp and gave the others a little more snug.
Man it picked up 3 lbs on the test hill. Moral is, check over the clamps now and then.
Yeah Yeah, I know being a mechanic I know this, but hey, just like cobblers kids, no shoes, you know.
After driving it I have to get the turbo on the dually, the 4x4 with camper is much faster loaded than the dually empty. SAD.
