Subject:      Just got some more radiator fan resistors in stock!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Dear List,

I got sixteen of the low speed radiator fan resistors for the 2.1l
Vanagon a few weeks ago.  They were all sold in three days.  I just got
fifteen more and they are going fast.  The ones I have been getting are
OE VW parts and they all have manufacture dates of two years ago.  So it
is highly possible that there is a finite supply of these and when they
are gone someone will have to fabricate a replacement.  This is all well
and good but every time someone has to make an aftermarket version it is
usually twice the price of the OE part.  I am selling these resistors
for the VW list price, not raising the price because they are hard to
get.  If you have a 2.1l Vanagon you will need one of these at some
point in the future if you don't already.  These are located behind the
driver's side headlight assembly.  It looks like a large green roll of
quarters with wires coming out to a plug.  If you turn on your AC and
your low speed radiator fan does not come on immediately then it is
possible that this resistor has already gone bad.  If you visually
inspect the resistor and it looks cracked then it is already in failure
mode and will soon die.  If this resistor goes bad your AC will not
work.  If this resistor goes bad your van will get hotter than it should
before the high speed fan will kick in sounding like a hurricane and it
could pop a coolant hose on you on a hot day.

If you want to be sure that you are going to be able to get one of
these, please either call me today or order it through my webstore.  The
part number is 251971284H

Just a heads up.
