After an oil cooler malfunction I have to decide about getting my original engine all re-bored, and new parts etc or getting a re-furbed jx 1.6TD engine of the shelf. Prices are similar.

Hi. I have a 89 Vanagon Westfalia Pop top. Since I have owned it a large amount of damp spores have appeared on the inside of the roof. The seals look fine, so I was thinking that maybe the roof, like plastic hulled yachts of a certain age is suffering from Osmosis. Anybody had a silimar problem and...
