Listees -


I have another question concerning rebuilds.  I have heard of so many VW
engine rebuilds that I am wondering how long before mine is due.  I have
a 1984 1.9L WBX that hauls the Westfalia stuff around.  It has 80,000
miles and seems to run well and strong -- takes hills nicely, easy cold
starts, good mileage(18-20 mpg), dependable.  So what are the tell-tale
signs of needing a rebuild? Generally in what mileage range do the 1.9L's
scream out for major overhauls? Do they creep up slowly or suddenly
happen?


Thanks,


Les
