Forklift saga part 2.....the fix.

January-February 2007

Fix damage with:

new suspension. went with the 20th suspension. 1 inch drop and stiffer shocks
purchased from UndergroundVWParts (vwvortex user name). they are a good used parts dealer from Tampa. fair prices and quick shipping.

new fuel pump. the original one was broken in half. here is a helpful DIY:

and this
ECS Tuning Hybrid Oil Pan Repair Kit
comes with the GLI half steel and half aluminum pan. the steel at the bottom. also comes with new pickup line inside the pan and return line from the turbo to the pan.
retails for $295.50 (research around for a better price)

i am very happy with the purchase and quality.

install went smooth and easy with a fellow VW owner and tech. be sure to remove old pan and keep all bolts.
