What did you do to your VW today?
Retired with a 70 Squareback as a daily driver. Wife has Sonata, excellent
car but soulless. Only real bother seems to be starting when hot which it seems is a function of the volatility of unleaded in Aust. Usual issues with flywheel oil seal dribbling and torque converter seal adding a nice red colour to puddle on floor. Frequent oil changes and keeping engine spotless ( so heat can conduct/radiate away) seems to be key to long life. Auto never been out, has estimated 300000 miles and engine has had one work over 20 years ago. John "AllanW" wrote in message ...

Well, except that I don't like lowered vehicles. They always look, to me, like the suspension is broken. And cosmetically not having the wheels like up correctly in the fenders looks wrong. - Bill |

It has 98000 miles on it. Took apart the front hubs and plan to re-grease the bearings & all grease points. The car needs paint, interior re-done, fuel system cleaned out, and I have a spare engine to put in it while I get my current engine rebuilt. The tires are probably dry rotted too. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
