Lets clear the air here.
Ok, i am new to the vx bunch but i am a master tech only i try not to deal with gas stuff, Big diesel is where i choose to stay and make damn good money.
This VX was rough when i got her, i actually had to push French fry's off the floor board to test drive it. The maint up to 93k is a mystery to me and it may not ever had an oil change up to that point for all i know.
I got it and dumped all fluids ,wp,t belt tein,tires,etc in it with in 1k. She ran well but there was allways the wonder how the insides were because of the poor cond i bought it in. This is the only vehicle i have ever bought with a warranty for this reason!
So i heard from the service mgr and it sounds like a reman motor will be going in the unit.
Just because my vx blew up does not mean your will!!!! my VX was very abused when i got her.
