First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who responded to my question about my cold shifting problem and synthetic tranny oil. Bottom Line: looks like Redline MT-90 is the transmission lube of choice. Now to changing drive belts (AC, power steering) on my '89 vanagon GL. I can't believe VW routed a coolant line inside the belts. I have no intention of compromising my cooling system by disconnecting this coolant line -- bleeding air out of the system is such a pain. Any suggestion on how to disconnect the coolant line without ingesting air, spilling that precious green fluid, etc? I searched the archives and did not find any info. Bentley has nothing to say about the coolant line in the very brief belt change section. In the mean time, I will look into routing this coolant line around the belts and let everyone know what I find. Thanks, Dave |
