I think you need to figure out what was really wrong. FUNBUS, "87
Syncro, 223K, not only original engine, but also the head gaskets. Still
capable of going on trips.

Subject: Re: 2.1 in a 1.9?

My 85 GL with 1.9L engine  --- 205,000 miles with only a failed water
pump near the 200,000 mark.

My 88 GL with 2.1L engine -  0 to 96,000 miles - three new engines. 1)
Original engine, 2) VW of Canada Remanufactured Engine, 3) Local
Rebuild.

Your call!!

I liked the way that 1.9L performed. Bottom end of both engines is
hell-for-stout!~
