Subject:      Lubricate front heater control cables?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

Volks,


I'm reassembling the dash on my 91 Vanagon GL after opening the
heater case and replacing the front heater core and blower motor, and
while I was at it, the foam rubber covering the various vent flaps.


The control cables are all in good shape but it seems like a good
time to lubricate them with some sort of penetrating oil.  However
there is no sign of any existing lubricant, so maybe it's not
necessary or even a bad idea (the wrong lube might rot the plastic
casing)?


To lube or not to lube?


TIA


Steve, in Chicago with 91 Vanaru
