I have heard nothing about this, have a 78 wabbit that seems to need seal work too often for my liking. The only similar thing is a recall for diesels that sucked lubricating oil back through the seals and burned that instead of diesel oil when they were shut off. (sorry, rings, not seals). It was a bitch of a problem...my parents had it. Perhaps the recall is only for US built wabbits? As for the guy with the idle speed problem after running on the highway, I always have problems with that, but assume it is just an engine block temperature problem. When I pull off the highway, the temperature needle climbs (understandably) up to but not into the red. At that point, it idles very roughly, and wont start again smoothly if I stop it. I always assumed that the injector didnt know how to deal with the temperature, but it was not enough of a problem to worry about. Another rabbit owner suggested thhat similar racing in start+stop traffic was due to a pollution control device malfunction that any dealer should know how to deal with. Sorry, cant offer more than that. Michael Wagner (dexvax!utzoo!utcsstat!wagner)
