Hi all, Can anyone tell me at what milage a type 3 engine generally requires to be rebuilt? I've been getting engine knocking at low rpm that goes away when I accelerate (it knocks at idle up to 25 mph). My friend the VW nut says it's time to rebuild the engine. He thinks the connecting rods are going. The Baroness has 112,000 miles on her. What do you guys think? thanx, Lori & The B., '71 AT FI SB -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "I wrestled with reality for 36 years, and I'm happy to say that I finally won out over it." ---Elwood P.
