Howdy all, I was referred to this board by a fellow who, IIRC goes by the handle of Big Shane. So, a little about myself. I hail from Calgary and have been in the wrenching game for about 15 years now (non professionally except for a 3 month stint at a Diesel shop). Most of my cars have been SAABs however a couple of years back I came into possession of a 98 passat 1.8T Tiptronic, AKA: Black Betty.
Black Betty and I have had a love hate relationship over the years. She's kind of like that one crazy ex girlfriend who took all your money, had weekly meltdowns and made you run all over town for her but damn if she wasn't so sexy you couldn't put her down! Anyway, Here are some pics.
