It sounds you got the lever but it just wont slide. Most likely just a lot of dirt, crud or hardened old grease on the seat slider tracks. Clean what you can and put some penetrating lube on the slider tracks.

I'd start by getting the door panel off from the inside. See if you can get the rear latch to unlock or operate, etc.



Get a good manual too, like a Bentley (www.rb.com) if you don't already have one.

Event/Show/Campout news and reviews /

Englishtown is a pretty good facility for car shows. Although I've been stuck in some horrific traffic jams leaving the Waterfest event.



The April show (VW spring show and swap?) is not nearly as big as the VW/Audi Waterfest (2 day event in June). There a number of enthusiasts from the NY, NJ, PA area that go the spring event.



I've heard mixed reviews on this event. Never been to it myself, so I can't comment specifically one way or the other.

Just do the slave and see how it goes. You can always find more stuff to do "while you're there", so be careful. I replaced a slave on my '81 years ago and don't think I've done any work on the hydraulic system since then.

Phil, any chance that was the 02 sensor wire? That's the first thing that popped into my head.



Something is probably giving the computer a bad signal and telling it to run too rich. A very black sooty exhaust tip could be a sign of rich running.



Basically you need to go through all the fuel injection component tests in the Bentley manual to start sorting out what might be the problem.
