NO! NO!  You MUST change that engine...  You're doomed otherwise...  The sky
is falling...

Congrats,

Hi Friends,

    Yesterday Bhoom, our 1990 Westfalia, passed 200,000 miles on the
original engine. For years I have heard stories about the long mileage WBX
engines but never really believed. Started worrying around 100,000 miles.
After all it is a four banger and it works hard for a living. I now believe.
You hear a lot of criticism of the vanagon engine but 200,000 miles speaks
for itself.
