thanks Keith.
The motor is a 1.9L PD BEW and I figured pretty correctly... Little above hand tight.
But now i got another problem.
I just replaced the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, serpentine belt, oil pan, and now, the brakes are hard as rock. I think I may have blown a fuze, but I have no table telling me what fuze does what.
It's a 2004 new Beetle GL.
Any help is appreciated.
Joe.
