Hi All
Although we were all crazy about working on our dubs in the old days, there were times that when a working van or a daily transport bug had a terminal motor problem, and one was faced with making the decision of buying either a Vee motors or Genuine VW sub from a dealer, as a quick fix. Although the genuine unit was supposed to be 'as new' we never had one last as long as the original motor lasted.
Anybody else find that as well?
Cheers
Bill
