Subject:Fix Engine or Get New One?
From:Duane Fahey
Date:Thu, 10 Jul 2003 10:49:23 -0400

I don't know for sure yet, but I might need new heads on my '89 Vanagon
2.1.  There is some kind of leak in the coolant system, and every other
place has been explorered.  I haven't had a test done yet, but I suspect
the worse.

So, with about 200,000 miles on the engine, what should I do?  Should I
fix the engine that I have, or put something new or rebuilt in?

In the near future, I will need a new exhaust system and a new rear
heater core, among other things I'm sure.

The body is rusting now, no holes yet, but coming soon, I think.

I've been looking for a 2nd vehicle anyway, so I'm wondering if I should
just look for a Eurovan Camper...

Any suggestions?  - Duane
