I think I'd need my own personal bailout to get the really nice windows (Marvin, Andersen, Pella). I'd planned to wait a couple of years to replace the windows, but one of them started leaking during heavy rain.

"How will you use a Pella if the trend to omit the dipstick really takes hold?" Ummm, I won't. "Are you still moving to Hong Kong?" Nope, it looks like the move is off as my Mrs. Shipo's company is being sold. (again). We did manage to get a trip over there for the whole family that was paid for by the company, and it was quite an eye opener for the kids. Last May when we first broke the news to the kids that we were moving to HK, my 13 year old son (who is already quite the ladies man) said to me, "Ahhh Dad, why do we have to move? You know I don't dig Asian chicks." Fast forward to late August when we were exploring the island as well as Kowloon, I repeatedly caught him walking into things with a wide eyed look on his face while gazing at the local young ladies. Finally he admitted, "Dad, uhhh, I think some of these asian girls are pretty hot." Best Regards, Shipo

Shipo; How will you use a Pella if the trend to omit the dipstick really takes hold? Are you still moving to Hong Kong?

thanks for the heads up regarding the contamination issue when disconnecting hoses. Until I get the belly pan off and check the unit out, I don't know - so, can you tell me, is there a pitcock or drain plug for the coolent system? I actually thought of sucking it out - I have a new pella 6000 that I have not used yet. (I think it's a 6000 - it's the small round one) I couldn't find anything in my owners manual about the quanity held in the system. And I looked at my car under the hood today and could only see the round resivoir container and not an additional radiator cap that takes me directly into the radiator. I am not sure if I can extract the coolent from the round container. Also, when I get the belly pan off and I am under there, I want to treat the cv boots. I read somewhere, here or on Fred's TDI perhaps, that someone recommended treating them twice a year to help keep them serviceable longer. After having them have to be replaced on othe cars that I have had, I am determined to keep these in condition as long as possible. It seems prudent anyway. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the imput. I felt that these were pretty silly questions, but I was just trying to slow or stop the "duh" factor - if you know what I mean. After mulling over your comments earlier, I was thinking the pretty much the same as you as you are describng when I considered my options on clamping what hose etc.. I have come to find out that there is no pitcock, and I do have the pressurized cap opening which I can't see until I remove the top shield - which I will do tomorrow. Someone suggested that I could take my new pella and suck the coolant out, but I have decided to do as you suggest. I have the car up on the rino ramps now, and in the morning will get started - on a cold engine basis. also, while i have the belly pan off - what would you suggest for cleaning and treating the CV boots with? Any ideas? It seems to me to be a good idea to do this in that it may prolong their life. Any thoughts? And thank you for answering these questions. charles in Indiana

thank you for the tip regarding the possibilty of rubbing at the bottom of the TDI heater. that's good to watch for. But, i guess that I don't understand your method of using clamps on the hoses. If the bottom hose is to be remove at the base of the oil filter housing - how can I keep the fluid that is above that area from being lost out the opening - not of the hose but the oil housing, which is on the low side of the engine. I understand that a straw hold water if you keep your finger on one end, and that is the mechanics of fluid, so I guess that is what you are refering to? Well, If I am going to clamp off these hoses, it would seem that i would clamp off the lower hose at the oil cooler remove that - attach the TDI heater straight hose, then clamp that one off and remove the top of the same hose (at the upper water outlet) that I have just remover from the oil cooler? After having connected the curved TDI hose....now will I have a air pocket in the system? How is that dealt with? What do you suggest for a clamp? Vice gripes? Just in case I prefer to drain the radiator - I have done that many tiimes on other cars, is there a pitcock on the system. Can you tell me how to do that? I recently purchased this car, and I have not had the belly pan off yet. When i have this up on the blocks and ready to go this weekend - I want to know what I am doing. I am trying to figure out how to be able to take back a unopened gallon of $28 antifreeze - if I can - and not have to use it. The coolent in it is new and toped off by the body shop at VW after having been put back together from a wreak. I have just purchased a pella 6000 and could possibly extract it as well if that is possible - but I don't see how, because I don't see a typical radiator system here. Anyway, thanks for the imput.
