help!
i had to leave my 85 van broken down in a little town
1 hour northeast of tulsa, oklahoma (vinita).  i can
get back to tow it home to austin, texas ( about 500
miles) in a couple of weeks.  no one i've spoken with
in vinita, ok, seems to know much about vw's.  anyone
nearby who can help or reccommend where to look for
it.  i'd rather return to pick up a repaired van, and
the fellow at the shop hasn't even looked at it ( in
the week its been there) to tell me if he thinks he
can fix it.
its the electrical system.  either the alternator's
out and/or there's a short somewhere.  and at the end
of the fiasco, the new battery i tried burned off the
insulation from some of the major cables that travel
just behind the engine box.
in way over my head,
colby
