A 1.9 WBX I had for a short time was hydro locked due to LOT'S of fuel
in crankcase. The fuel pressure regulator had failed and PO likely
just kept cranking and cranking trying to start it.

I changed the oil and filter twice. Ran cheaper oil/filter first for
*short* time, then changed again putting in the good stuff.
