I'm trying to replace the front brake calipers, and I got down to removing the nut holding the metal brake fluid pipe into the caliper: It wont budge. I hit is with PB Blaster. I tapped it with a hammer. It's an 11 mm nut -- Of course my metric wrench set goes from 10 to 12 -- why? I don't...

So it's been a while. My passenger side cylinder head took a dive during a tensioner failure.

So...

I have fought with these things every time I replace something. At least this one is easy to get to. Tips? Advice? Recommended whiskey for afterwards?

Sometimes I just hate the hell out of living in NYC. I had my '02 Passat serviced and tuned up in Jan., drove it 14 hours straight, and have had zero problems since. My check engine light came on and the damn machine says something about the catalytic converter and a misfire error. So, now I...

So, earlier this week I took my Passat to a shop owing to the botched job I was doing of removing the upper pinch bolt. Since the shop was going to pop that for me, I had them replace the axle boot for me as well. Sometime in between my abortive attempt at pounding out the bolt and their doing...
