      The show will begin at 7pm EST 1/18/2017. This will be another AMA style show so you can ask automotive questions as well as whatever you like (within reason). I’ll do my best to answer as many questions as possible in the hour I’ll be doing the show. Here’s a hint. The sooner you post your question, the more likely it is to get answered!

      After the show concludes, I’ll post the video to this thread and lock it down until the next show scheduled for 1/18/2017.

      See you tonight!

        Hey Eric, big fan of your videos, have learned a lot from you so thanks for that.
        I have a Mk4 Golf GTI with a 1.8T engine which recently had a full rebuild top to bottom including new turbo.
        The last couple of weeks Ive been getting intermittent oil pressure warnings – “STOP”… on the dash. It only seems to happen after a long drive, say an hour or so at motorway speeds. The last time it happened I was literally just parking the car. I switched it off and left it for about 20 mins then started it again and let it idle for about 10 mins – no warnings. I replaced the pressure sensor but it hasn’t solved the problem. It never happens at cold start or short journeys. The engine is running sweet, no noises etc. The oil that was put in when the engine was rebuilt was 5w30. Ive been told that its too thin and because the ecu is remapped the engine runs a little hotter than standard and so the oil is thinning out too much but I know a lot of 1.8Ts are running 5w30 with no issues. Ive been told to use 5w40 instead. When the warning pops up I’ve noticed that if I give it some gas, the warning goes away. Do you think its the oil grade or maybe an oil pump issue? Should I be running the engine at all?

        Many thanks
        Kenny

                      Hello Eric,
                      I have a T-5 and bell housing that came out of a 1990 Mustang. Will this transmission work on any 302 or do I have to find a certain year 302? I am planning to install the 302 and T-5 on my 54 F-100. Also, what is the difference between a Coyote 302 and any other 302.

                      Thanks,
                      Bob from Florida
