Your in the wrong section first off, try the first gen section, the life will depend on the maintanance of the motor, just keep up with oil changes and such

To the op, hows the car doin? made any progress on what you decided to do with it?

100K miles to 300K miles depending on maintenance and care. With a car that old you're better off checking compression and preparing for a rebuild, you don't know hoe the previous owners maintained it. BTW you're in teh wrong section.

Strip down is moving along - more slowly over the past week as I tore my triceps tendons. Looks like the only mouse wire damage to date involves the stereo connections - no biggy. Right now I'm watching SHPmainMAN's TII raffle to see if it will go! If wishes add horses, I'll turbo yet. Many thanks for asking.

Nice, i actually have a spare s4 t2 motor with none of the bolt on stuff, its just the block, that i might be interested in selling. I bought an 88 t2 with motor out for 600, motor seems to have good compression by ear, havent used a tool (dont have one) i was told it ran good when it was in car but was pulled to paint engine bay. I was planning on putting all that back together but came across a deal i couldnt pass up. I snagged a 10th ann running for 900 bucks!

My dad is thinking about fixing up the t2 but if he doesnt end up wanting it im gonna part it out. the only part of the drivetrain its missing is the driveshaft.
