Gettin' Better...
Alright Daun! Two for three is definitely getting much better!
Way to go.
I'm really glad to hear that the problem with the 86 was indeed
the oil pump. That really had me going crazy too as to what was
going on. But it really does all make sense now... the symptoms
that we saw...
Let me know if you want a hand working on the 16v. It's been a
while since I've stopped over, so I might just need an excuse
one of these days. ;)
Again, glad to hear the good news on the two Sciroccos!
