One story I heard from a mechanic who used to work at Arrowhead VW in Kansas
City "before water cooled VWs were invented" involved a motorcycle cop who
had brought his SB in to the dealership. His helmet which was on the floor
behind the driver's seat had a dent melted in it! Urban legend? You
decide.

The plastic impeller came loose from the shaft after 1 year.
