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!
