[urq] sand

[Michele_Deltergo at KeyBank.com]

I guess someone would have to quantify the amount.  I have a hard time 
believing that a few grains, here or there, gaining entry from the intake 
would be any worse for the cylinders than that from carbon deposits that 
would occasionally come loose from higher mile engines.  I would think 
they would be expelled pretty quickly and need constant entry to really 
cause damage.

Last summer (2009) I had my GV engine rebuild at 300K KM and the shop said 
there was damage on several cylinder walls recognized as sand. We checked 
all air related intake hoses but couldn't find any cracks or splits etc. 
What are the 'usual suspects' of getting sand in the cylinder 
compartments?

Thanks.

Regards,
Maurits

1986 quattro GV @ 0 KM (nearly there)
