Start by thinking about how much you drive and whether your odometer might be wrong. If your car has front tires that are smaller than original then the odometer will register more miles than reality, but it takes a pretty extreme tire to make much of a difference. If you have an accurate measured mile nearby you can verify that driving that mile at 60mph takes exactly 1 minute. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
