Hi Eric - and the rest of you too.... My -88 Vanagon has been going 111K US miles with no major problem at all AFAIK !, I´m the second owner and the first had a book where every service - changed bulbs, oil, tyres, fan belt, brake pads, balljoints etc.- were noted and there is no bigger things than that !! BTW I´m just on my way to change the original silencer ( the little short one on the cat. model ) , I hope this isn´t the first sign of the total breakdown :-) Calle -88 Vanagon Mullhyttan, Sweden > Volks, I'm curious.... How many miles on your vans -specifically how many > miles on the existing engine (no rebuilds to exceed head reseal/replacement). > |
