Coyote,
I've been off the list for quite a while now but miss everyone and
wanted to give you guys an update on the 82 westy diesel I converted to
a 1.9l TD. After putting about 18k miles on it, it just gets stronger
and better. Mileage also improved from an original of 22.5mpg to a
current 25 mpg. It originally used about a qt of oil every 1k miles. Now
the rings have seated and uses none. An interesting point however, I
bought a 2000 Golf TDI and VW won't let you change the break in oil for
at least 5k miles. Perhaps I shouldn't have changed the oil so
frequently when I was breaking in the Westy...
In any event, Hello to all and if anyone wants to get ahold of me, I can
be reached at: bajatrvlr@aol.com. I think I bunged up the return address
on this server to bypass spam.
Thanks,

Bob Bellanca
