Make that Day of the Sick

So we found a great little VW shop run by Erich in Santa Maria in Central Calif. and he sold me a used Air Flow Control (AFC) for the fuel injection system. The AFC was the only weak link left over from our rebuild. Long story about finding Erich, little bit internet, little bit magic. Regardless, we headed out towards the Patagucci outlet store a couple hours south of here and then make our way to the Mexican border, but fate (and our AFC) had something else up its sleeve.

Half an hour down the road our oil temperature started to rock way past acceptable standards. We're back at Lisa's finishing Marg's leftovers from last night. We've made contact with Pete (our Metchosin VW guru) and he has some suggestions we'll check out tomorrow. Otherwise we will be here until Monday when we can make contact with Erich and pick up another used AFC.

Cheers!
