I have a MK1 and I'm driving myself crazy with maintenance. Everything seems just out of reach and a bilge full of dropped tools and bolts.
I'm bruised and cut form trying to cram myself somewhere to get to things(raw water impeller/water pump currently) and i'm at my wits end. I'm about to remove pull every pipe,hose, belt off the engine and work my way back up with everything.
I haven't seen this complaint out there and was wondering if maybe it's just me or maybe my engine(perkins 354 160hp turbo) that takes up more room.
How bad is it? I found myself trapped between the hull and then engine unable to un-squeeze myself for a few minutes. Panic set in and I was thinking how embarrassing it would be to have to yell for help. I know what you're thinking in that this old guy shouldn't be doing this but i'm 33 .
Had to walk away, lick my wounds and hopefully find the motivation to try again without the blind rage.
