Over the past few years, I have learned of some interesting technical articles and innovative products, of which some are relevant to VW-Audi Group vehicles, both ancient and modern. One topic area of particular importance, is that of engine-oil & transmission-oil cleanliness; especially conside...

Before resorting to the drill, try heating the cylinder head with a blowlamp, in the region of the screw-studs. This will expand the amuminium and hopefully will expand it sufficiently, relative the the studs, to loosen them enough to remove, whilst the cylinder head is still hot.

This might not be picked-up by an MOT inspector, but it is ...

The 60/55W H4 quartz-halogen headlamps, have been available as a factory-fitted option, for VW Transporters, since at least 1973 and possibly as early as 1971, so you should find that your existing headlamps' electrical circuit, has been designed with this option in mind.
