Thank you all for your suggestions...

It's my daughter's tintop van - 1988, 2.1 WBX, 290k miles - bought in 2005
from a VW mechanic. The previous owner bought it in for a rebuild on the
engine at around 100k miles and the PO ran out of $ to take it back, the
mechanic sold it to me to recoup parts and labor at $3.5K. I kept it for 3
years then gave it to my daughter after her graduation. It ran well for 17
years with regular maintenance and small repairs familiar to all of us.

For 2 days snow and rain here I am waiting for a break in the weather to
work on it. I will keep you updated.

thanks again and have a good weekend....
