13.5 years til the end of the IC engine in German.......then battery and fuel cell, or more specifically 'zero emission' new cars.

My Mk3 will be officially a vintage car by then and I will be able to get a historic car rego for it. Just a matter of whether I will be able to get spares, fuel and lubricants to keep it roadgoing.

At the moment (after 20 years), ebay and autoparts suppliers in Europe/US are my newest best buddies. Hopefully it will stay that way all the way through to 30 years and then I will probably have to get a shipping container and start my own stockpile.

I understand the EGR valve remains closed at WOT, if so couldn't it be easily fooled with an ECU tweak rather than all the blanking off work?.
