Beetle Head

Post by Kafer74 »

Hi

I came back from a breakfast run on Sunday and on the way home the spark plug blew out of the head. I was about 20km from home with my wife and kid in the car. I first pulled off the road to see what is going on and when I saw the plug laying in the engine bay I decided to push through to home. It made one hell of a noise and running on 3 cylinders there wasn't much power. But the car got me home safely.

What can I say...isn't that what you expect from VW? :hangloose:
Enjoy the Ride

do yourself a favour and check if the plug didnt unscrew itself and in fact the head is still OK
happened to me once.
