while ive never done a head job myself, its my understanding that you must drop the motor to do it properly, the only thing you can get to is the valve cover gaskets with the motor in  :(

the worst part is vw finally decides to break back into the market and they do this a frankenmonster hybrid daimler-chrysler dub effort, i  hope this doesnt make them pull the plug for ever, why couldnt they  have just imported the stuff they send to australia, & south africa why why why? :cry:  :cry:  :cry: if your gonna pay 26-38 k for a vdub it better be a vdub...shame on you VW  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

i took a 110 mile white mountain excursion last weekend and was very impressed with the cornering grip, no sway, i didnt have proper tires before and my bus blew around like a flag, if people passed me my bus would sway :lol: no probs now, ive never had the Hankook brand but am happy w/ these yokos. are the hankooks more of harder compound tire?

Modifications and Alterations / Yokohama Tires 8ply d- rating
« on: September 17, 2008, 03:07:39 PM »
SO i finally got my Yokos delivered & had them mounted & boy the ride is nice. D rating 8 ply they ran 79.00 per w/ mounting ended up being 569.00 total for five tires..best thing about them is they say Super Van on the side wall!! these are a viable alternative to the Hankook tires

sounds like your camber is off on the tires, do you have the correct tires on the van?
