Servicing in cold

Rear brake line rubber grommet near master cylinder were set in correct position,inner and outer promptly.
Brake pedal backlash was minimized by adjusting piston push rod.
Grease was applied on three pedals moving hinge positions.




Old on board jacks thrown as voids were arranged into useful wright jack from now, 19mm socket is adaptable so air impact tool or air socket tool may be applicable, the jack up and supporting performance would be improved on pit workings.
The hitting portion on right strut lower support was eliminated by grinder, this is caused by wider but genuine wheels introducing.
The switch for driving and fog lamps is positioned on lower surface of dashboard, so sometimes hit my right knee with unacceptable inconveniences. As an convenience closed switch hale exists just beside the head lamp switch, so no reason is found to utilize this one as assistant frontal lamps.
But an additional switch with the same shape as assist lamps with 6 terminals is found on left side knee position, I have not yet inspected the performances, check it out! I wanna removed all the convex matter including switches because I'm afraid of severe injury in case of unpredictable accident such as panic stop.
Any convex material existing under the dashboard does seriously harms on the driver's legs, this is written based on my own experiences for over 40 years.
The test driving on the moderate up hill proved enough 11AD motor performances, torqueful and powerful, ATDC 5 degree ignition timing is correct. Also the error of wheel alignment exists naturally because of steering linkage ball joints replacements yesterday.
Special tools I made before would play a important part from now.
Small silicon rubber ball valve crushed in an air impact tool and the small broken rubber pieces closes the orifice inside the air distribution mechanism. Disassembling and overhaul would recover the original performances so I hope.
Finding out the fracture of lower arm bush on the right side, wheel alignment measuring and setting must be performed after the defective parts replacements on both sides, parts are already obtained. Strut upper mount parts replacement would be done at the same time. Actually tasks do not finish endlessly on this 40 years old VW Beetle.
Though 2 small air compressors are set in my working pit, both of the pressure limitation are set at 5kg/cm2, I feel lack of air balk and basic poor pressure. The adequate pressure for air tools I have is about 6-7kg/cm2. So the pressure limitter must be adjusted to obtain higher pressure and air bulk. And smaller air tanks must be combined mechanically in order to increase the air bulk.

VW? VW here is just a little bit different.
Prof.Shinya Yamanaka, the representative of IPS Cell Institute Japan said in some TV interview very interesting matter, his way to IPS Cell Invention was not always so flat and easy one, experienced big collapses twice to stop researching. All the person is the same, the importance is VW, having concrete and apparent Vision and hard Working to realize it.
