[Vwdiesel] Oil question-seeking closure

[Bryant Baecht]

Hi all,
     Not to be too commercial, but I saw this touted on the history channel
the other night and it seemed really practical:

My level 3 solution of taking the oil and the battery in the house IS
pretty radical....and I only had to use it once in my whole life....back
when synthetic oil wasn't something you could buy at any grocery store. I
just mentioned it to maintain historical accuracy.

After running all your postings through my brain and allowing them to
ferment,  I think that I had better consider 4 new injectors, a big new
battery, synthetic Rotella, and a battery warmer blanket for the old 85
Jetta TD this winter. 20 years on a set of injectors is pretty good
service. It's time to retire them. And it already has the engine block
heater.

The other thing I'll do is take off the windshield wipers and try to polish
up the shafts that rotate the wipers. The wipers have been slowing down all
summer, and my mechanic said he just did the polishing job on another
customer's VW with the same symptoms. Apparently the shafts get some
corrosion on them and start binding up. Probably a common problem in
VW's.  Add it to the door handle routine failure/need to lubricate annually.

The sun came out this afternoon, so I'm inspired to grab the tools and get
busy. Thanks for all the ideas.
