Hi John,

It's always easy to second guess you but the key here is obvious. I don't
particularly enjoy working on any of my 3 WBXs but I cannot tolerate the
unreliable work performed by so-called professionals. The list is full of
very sad tales of good money spent but a major failure occurred anyway due
to lousy workmanship. Sometimes the poor workmanship isn't that obvious and
the WBX is condemned as poorly designed junk (just ask Stan Wilder!)and the
WBX reputation takes another undeserved hit. I do all my own work, replace
every hose, tighten every clamp, route every wire and I DON'T do roadside
repairs.

Do your own work, save money and drive with confidence. While you're doing
your own work, LOOK AROUND, snoop, tug on things, question stains and signs
of movement. I was very glad to read that your van didn't become a flaming
comet and all the occupants remained safe. As for your emergency fix, you
get the McGiver award!

Regards,    John
