Newbie question:
How do you actually get access into the valves on my 1.8L? I 've set valves on other cars many times before, but I can't figure out how you get into the (heavily obscured) valve covers! |

Save your knuckles. Put a shop rag thru the bail and jerk downwards. The rest is easy.
And remember, proper orientation of the rocker box cover is that they are installed with the VW symbol upside down. |

BTW, now's a good time to tell you that MY WAY to adjust valves is available in the classic threads. It's the real way to do it, far easier than any other way you've ever heard about. Try it, and use a 1/4" screwdriver at least a foot long. The Cap'n |
