Newbie says hello
I bought an 83 Cabriolet about 3 weeks ago. I can't believe all the great info here. Had a no start hot problem - replaced the accumulator after reading several posts on that - fixed. Thank you all. So far I have also replaced tires and aligned (fixed bump steer problem via ride height correction - thanks again), windshield & back window and misc trim items. Next is fixing inaccurate speedo. Hopefully, I will soon be able to provide some of you a golden nugget of info to save someone some time & $$.
