Hi


Many good theories - thank you.


I have written an email to Volkswagen in Germany - lets see if they
reply...............


And yes - I forgot to say - I respect and love the WBX - absolutely a
strong engine, and VW probably never designed it for a +20 years
lifespan :-) - so that talks for itself that we still keep em running.


But after I got myself an I4 conversion - I realize that life can be
a lot easier than driving a WBX and fearing the dreaded gasket
leaking. (Although it is quite an easy job to change the gaskets -
even with the engine in the car)


Happy driving


Jens Jakob
