Being a  "Hillbilly Tuning"  wizard ---and knowing the incredible rebuilding job that
Gavrik did on that engine ? ----It is a matter of personal pride to help him get that
Rabbit  performing much like Bunny Bondo  --I shall have slowbird verify that Bunny Bondo
does exactly what I say she does.   78 miles on a gallon Imp and next to no soot loading
in lube oil. ---That proves the performance of Hillbilly Tuning .
She is a 1984 1.6L turbo diesel Rabbit. ---operated in ECO mode  -- 259830.3 Km on clock.
Oil so clean it is hard to see on dipstick.
Gavrik    remember we are dealing with two different issues that may or may not be
connected  -High oil consumption   and Low Smileage.    Gavrik --DO the blotter test at
least till we get her really performing.

And by the way slowbirds used to work as a gasser mechanic , so he is a reliable witness.
I deal mainly with VW   1.5-1.6 L  NA and turbo  1977 to 1784. .    so quote me right.
This is mainly about Gavriks diesel   ---more on Bunny Bondo some other time.
I just noticed that the design of the oilfilters I use have been redesigned ---FRAM
PH3569.
Now they are sold by Honeywell not AlliedSignal.--I get mine from Wal-Mart.   They do look
like they were IMPROVED.

Hagar.

PS :     Remember --keep your Rabbits head COOL. ---do not trust the VW gauge.Do a Roger
Brown test on the system.At least a Loren test.
