If it does nothing I won't mention it to them, only here .


FWIW, many many decades ago I was involved with a VW Class III unlimited racing car, it was running a PTFE snake oil and lost the drain plug 5 miles out during the Parker 500 ~ the driver radioed in 'what do I do now ?' .

Boss Man said 'drive it in as gently as you can, we're done and will have to rebuild the engine, I hope you make it to the pits' .

Not only did he make it in, there was ZERO DAMAGE to the air cooled VW engine when we took it apart .

I still can't understand that one .

It's why I'll try this Hail Mary Pass on my Coupe ~ I have nothing to loose .
