then it will leak more from there. hate to see a good driveway go to waste
also, i would wait a bit and see how much oil it burns before putting in synth. (piston rings, valve seals <---just don't know how these seals are doing with out ripping the head off)
were talking about a car thats never seen synth before. or has it¿?
lets test it out
take a sample oil from the car, dino oil, and synth oil. take a torch to each oil and observe how it burns. a pair should match
dino flash point is less then synth.
also noticed
this is a n/a diesel with a turbo IP¿?
and the v-belt is ridding a bit in the alternater pulley
what tranny does it have?
ACH (highway) or AWY (city) (bottom bell housing)
my 92 Jetta n/a had a AWY tranny and got 750+km out of it.
that’s 466+ miles (didn't want to run out of fuel)
there also a guy called hagar who was able to get his rabbit to 100 MPG imperial gallon
mind the rabbit is lighter and he lives in BC
which doesn't help if he's calculating down hill
his thread is here
http://www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4868 its really a long story on how he did it
I ended up stopping at pages 50 and called it quits.. and its at 130 pages now
hes currently in the hospital
