[Vwdiesel] '82 VW Westphalia diesel

I wonder if there are specific 'seal conditioner' additives out there?

Hello,

$256 for a rebuilt? Please tell us where so I can put in my file for
later use. I would gladly pay $256 rather than going through the hassle
of doing it myself again!.

There was a huge thread about a year ago concerning the use of ATF as a
diesel supplement. I believe the general consensus was that it was a
waste of time and money(for lubricity purposes). However, there are
always seem to be people like yourself who have had a positive
experience. It actually makes sense, because ATF(you claim Ford, but I'm
sure most others as well[please tell me if I'm wrong]) are loaded with
seal conditions and what-not. So a yearly application seems to be a good
idea to keep the seals supple and pliant.
