Hi all,

I have a 865KTQ parts car with 78K miles in my garage, had it for over a
year. It ran but has several issues (spent most of its life in the salt
belt, PO didn't use Pentosin, got rear-ended in front of my garage after I
got it and so on). I haven't done anything to preserve the engine, what
should I do?

run it every once in a while?
pump oil through the spark plug holes and leave it?

Any advice is very much appreciated!

Thank you as always,

Christoph

PS: I originally wanted to transfer good parts to this car from the other 5K
but it was bought at auction by the PO who realized what he was getting into
and gave it to me for cheap, it really stands as an example of a poorly
maintained Audi but at least the mileage checked out at carfax and by little
wear of pedals, so it should be good for that day when I need the engine or
other stuff
