I never get more than 20k out of a set of tires or brakes. Sportwagen was a hoot on off-ramps and gravel roads.

I am Mr. Preventive Maintenance guy, seldom do i sell a car before it hits 300k. But you are right about 1 thing, i should've checked the pvc, that is what cracked the oil pan.

Just wait until you replace the waterpump and get back to me. Was a 15min job on my '65 Dodge, close to 4hrs on the vw the 1st time i did it. Got it down to 2.5 the 2nd time around. Godspeed my friend.
