Ford said the pump failed basically causing engine starvation. They are going to put a BRAND NEW engine in not a rebuilt one. I have 6K miles left on the extended warranty. They said that since I have all the records of the oil changes being done at Frontier Ford that I am OK. He did tell me about some horror stories of people who dont have the records of the oil changes.

Lucky guy, gettin a brand new engine!
Off topic though, Chris how hard is it too get a 1989 golf gti 16V up to 200 horsepower, RELIABLY! (If possible without the whole G60 supercharged engine)

BB, by the time that you make that happen I think the mods would be worth more than the car.
