Last owner of my t2 drove w/out working omp >.<

So yeah i think the reason the guy blew the engine in my car was because he is a complete tard and didnt realize the oil metering system was all messed up , half of it wasnt even hooked up (no hoses on two of the injectors), then the other two that were hooked up had a screw in the hose that was suppose to goto the intake...sigh\\

I found this all out today when i started the adventure of disasembling the top half of the intake on my t2

I called the previous owner (guy i bought it from) , i asked him ... did you know the car had no oil metering system hooked up and you had to premix? , he answers "no, its news to me" so i tell him thats probably why he blew the engine...

Dude is maddd smart....

If all 4 oil injector holes are capped off then it is a possibility that some one previous to that owner premixed from the gas tank.

The motor may have once been replaced with jdm motor, but not sure.

So what was his explanation for why the feed hoses were blocked off and why there were screws in place of the injectors? Did he only own the car for a short while?

This is a secret danger of premix; if a car changes hands two or three times, the need to premix is probably lost. People who ditch the metering oil pump and then sell the car (that seems shady to me, but maybe that's only me) should but a big "Premix only" sticker on the gas cap.
