Yes, yes, yes and yes. I have been to the shop in the past, even Alfa, no one found the mistake. It gets better from time to time, depending on the weather and temperature, sometimes it is totally fine but I have the feeling today I killed it 😅. Should have had it checked a while ago, but you know how things are. If it works you don't really pay too much attention to it, esp when you think about getting rid of the car. Dilemma, I'm trying to have someone look over it this week.

Huh. I once had a hub break out of a clutch (it was a pull hub, also on the Sirocco) and it would center itself up when it came to rest (motor going off) and the damn thing would work fine for a time. I finally gave up on it and took it to a VW mech (a friend). It was pretty obvious when the clutch came out of the housing in 3 pieces rather than two.
Damn VW 😂. The Alfa GT I have is comparable to the Sirocco. A few mechs took a look at it and removed parts except one little valve. I keep you informed on the process, thanks for taking the time to think about it on your side 🤗. If I have to renew the entire clutch I might give up on this car. Cry
Glad to. It's sorta what I do best (except maybe eat).
I do know the pain of a car you love. I loved the Scirocco. It was rare enough to be relatively exotic here, fast and nimble. When I gave up on it I got a '76 VW Van with a Porsche motor. That was another real piece of work.
You have a thing for VW hu? I don't like VW but mostly for the management of it. All criminals 😂. My next car will be a cheap piece of metal/plastic that gets me from A to B.
Before the Alfa I owned a damn cool car. A Volvo C30 with the best equipment possible. A lady crashed into the side of it and ruined my fav car. Of course the insurance paid next to nothing because of the "age" of it not its value. Next thing I know is I own the Alfa GT 😂
This was my beloved Volvo C30...cryyyyyyyyyyyyy....
Edit: @galenkp you wont believe me but this car was clean because the dog could sit in the trunk ;).
My volkswagens were all pre criminal :) The scirocco was a 1980 and it was the newest of the bunch.
I know the love of a Volvo. The first car I bought after I go married was a 1974 Volvo 164 E. What a wonderful car (one of only 3 I've bought new).
1980, good year ;)
