Re: timing chain

[i] I pull my injectors every 60K on the VW per the Bently maunual and test them, wonder if it's really neccessary? [/B]
I get 200-300K using clean fuel, timely filter replacement, a heavy foot, and ocasional fuel additive. The 81 is aproaching 600K miles and is probibly about due again. I've learned to leave well enough alone with most diesels.

The 300D at 255K has the original injectors and glow plugs, all is well, but replacement would not hurt I imagine. Have yet to check chain stretch, but running something like that past 300K worries me for no good reason. Shame it's a little $.
