Subject:      temp 2 sensor "for the novice  eyes only"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

to the shade tree mechanic If you have not changed your temp 2 sensor and it has not been changed for several years this is a job that anyone can do. It certainly improved my bucking problem that occurred at starting out in first. To do the change order two new sensors and orings from bus depot if you can afford it. Locate the sensor near the plastic thermostat housing on the newer vanagons. The correct sensor points toward the wheel on the 87. Remove the larger metal clip from underneath the vanagon with a pair of needle nose. Note how the clip is positioned. Do not confuse the smaller clip that secures the wire to the sensor with the larger one that secures the sensor to the sensor housing. Having removed the clip, prepare a new sensor with the oring and remove the old sensor and replace with the new sensor quickly as to not loose too much juice. Now take the second new sensor and replace the old sensor with the new sensor from up above. The smaller clip needs to be pushed inward to remove it. Becareful not to break the plastic clip trying to get that small wire clip off. Attach the new sensor and oring and from below again swap the new sensor plugging the hole with the new sensor attached to the wire. twist the sensor into place an attach the large clip. Take note of lost juice and do the accounting. good luck, gary of belmont
