>BTW, VW wasserwheezers are junk,

Let's see now...
159,950 miles on the  Caravelle (with new heads at 98K, nothing else though)
113,000 on the Westy with original heads
202,000 on the '81 rabbit diesel, no major repairs;
that totals, just about  475,000 miles for the German watercooled junk.
Maybe someone needs to find a Suebaroo List to post to.
