Ya.

I set the permissions as high as I dared but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...
Perhaps direct image linking is not allowed by default. It can typically be enabled by just changing one setting in the site properties or somewhere.

Just be aware, if you link big images to this kind of public forum that has thousands of users, you could run out of your 500 MB bandwidth quickly.

Had a problem with the cam chain adjuster.
no wonder VW repairs are so dang expensive...they take the whole car apart for minor maintenance work! ;)

The internals of the CV joint that bolts to that flange are exposed to the flange itself; yep, it is supposed to be that way. It doesn't leak to the outside when assembled.
I replaced my rear seal on the center differential Monday. Looked just like that,except you could see the gear oil running down the flange when it was turned.

It was not hard,but the Haynes does not show it correctly. There is a T40 bolt holding the flange in. Pull it and the flange can be pulled out by hand.
