Maintenance guides
As I fix up and perform general maintenance on the car I want to record and share what I've done in the hopes it might make someone else's life a little easier. I've used many, many online resources for each maintenance project I've done and feel it's only fair to give back in some way.
All these tasks I've done myself with only ordinary hand tools you can buy anywhere. The only 'specialty' tools I've purchased are a hydraulic jack, jack stands (highly recommend for safety), and a cheap electric rattle gun (similar to this one from Amazon).
All work done in these guides is on a 1993 Mk1 Golf Karmann Cabriolet - your car may differ.
In each guide I have tried to give an idea of the cost and time involved as well as links to where I bought the replacement parts online.
Please note I am not a mechanic. These are just guides as to how I went about doing these things. Proceed at your own risk and always seek professional advice.
