Believe me, you havent had BAD blowby until the breather going to the intake is so oil laden the engine takes off. This will make a terrible noise and completely obscure the road behind you with blue smoke. Getting stopped is quite exciting !! I have never owned a diesel Vanagon but for a while I had a Rabbit pick-up with the same engine. Yes, it took new rings to solve the problem. Steve Cotsford |
