Well I for one am saving your last. But I have two questions, re. the quote above: Water-absorbing oil, eh? On the quattro list there was a long discussion some time ago, whether VW's initial factory fill was with a special oil or not-- without conclusion, as no one had any real data. What can you tell us of your S-T experience? And, most importantly, what should the initial fill be, of a rebuilt engine today? And, "full release"... meaning completely removed? That seems excessive! thanks! -- -- Douglas Frank DigitalWhoopsCompaqImeanHP Co. ZKO 110 Spit Brook Rd.
