Visible rust thru the heat outlets is a sign that there are worse things happening further inside. If you don't do anything it will just get worse, and if you wait until the outside rockers rust thru most of the inside will be toast by then. Definitely do something now. If you can blow oil in there that is certainly a big help, but you have to try to get it into all the spaces and then look for the water leaks (it is guaranteed that you have them) at the rear of the front wheelwells and the front of the rear wheelwells. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
