Greg,
It is interesting to know what life you can expect =
from a
particular unit. I have a 1982 Kombi/Transporter with 280,000 kilometres =
on the
clock. The motor has only been out to put in a clutch plate. Some seals =
were
re-done but that was with the motor insitu. I have always driven in a =
way which
would tend to make everything last. Apart from regular servicing =
the only
other thing I did was to put a can (1 litre) of "SLICK 50" in with the =
oil at
the first change. This stuff was supposed to make the rubbing surfaces
(cylinders & rings) smoother and make them last longer. Maybe it
did.
