a diesel should conservatively get 350k. it wouldn't surprise me if the japanese ones did a little better. you should be able to count on 500k or more from a mercedes diesel.

I was just at "Pick-N-Pull" auto wreckers last weekend and saw at least 4 Diesel Rabbits. (California) I think they get around $100 for a complete engine, and another $50 for the trany. If you watch they have 50% off days every few months. I don't check the mileage, but if they follow my Rabbits life cycle the car died at around 200K (body, suspension...etc). But the engines last for 300K-400K. I pulled the engine, from mine, and swapped it in to an old gas powered water pump. Only problem we had was the RPM's of gas pump was higher than the VW engine likes. 3600RPM's Just a thought Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Weaver Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 5:56 AM To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Anybody have a vw engine (pre electronic injectorcontrol) Ebay, or google rebuilt diesel...
