Here are a few things you could consider: Check around the rear of the front wheelwells and the front of the rear wheelwells for areas that are rusting thru. Drain and refill the tranny fluid. Use GL-4 of a weight suitable for your climate. Check the ball joints and tie rod ends; see the Bentley manual for details. Check the steering gearbox for excessive play. Check, and maybe repack, the front wheel bearings. Replace the seals if you take them out. Of course, change the engine oil and adjust the valves. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
