Subject:      FW: 1987 Vanagon Question

Wow a 169K? Original motor with no major work? I feel a lot more comfortable. I thought these motors were designed to self destruct at 100K. I was told VW recalled these vans for a head retorquing, probably because of the head problems. Did you take advantage of this, and would this help the situation any?

I was told the exhaust systems for these is a trunk load of parts and are priced as if they are gold plated. Is that what is lurking behind the sinister HEH HEH?

Sorry about keeping my response off the list. In MS Mail the "reply" button fires the message off to the original sender, not the list. That's what happens when you let the computer do the thinking for you.

Thanks Pete ----------
