Hi List,
                 Well, my 87 wolfsburg is up and running.  500 miles+ under
it's belt already.  Oil was changed at 350 miles.  I have had no problems
other then needing to tighten up the 3 belts at times.  The belt going from
the water pump to the alternator has lost it's teeth.  Did i make it too
tight?  They are Gates belts so i know they are not garbage.   Anybody have
any idea?  Thanks to those who have answered my past probs and to the Bus
Depot, Ken @ VanAgain, and Mike @ AW auto parts.

Thanks in advance,
         Paul Bucco            ibuyvws@aol.com
