Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Other Volkswagen Models Manual 255000 miles
WE RECENTLY HAD A RECONDITIONED ENGINE INSTALLED IN OUR 1996 CARAVELLE MICROBUS. THE CAR WENT LIKE A DREAM UNTIL IT HAD DONE ABOUT 2000KM, WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS SMOKING AT THE EXHAUST. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS EXAMINED IT WAS FOUND THAT TWO PISTONS WERE CHIPPED, AND THE OTHERS WERE ALSO STARTING TO GO. THE MECHANICS HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. ALL PARTS USED WERE ORIGINAL VW PARTS. WE HAD THE RADIATOR AND EXHAUST ALSO DONE. WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS AS I DONT WANT TO INCUR ALL THE EXPENSES AND HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
