Agree, I get suspicious of ones mechanical ability to own a 21+ year old bus
and drive with the idiot light on while the engine and transmission smoke
themselves.

The most confusing part is he says the PO put in different thermostat but
this was supposed to be a brand new GoWesty engine. hmmmmmm

And the best part, to paraphrase, "we are going to drive to Mexico but we
can't even read a gas gauge."

I'd like to know more about the "disastrous chain of events ended up
needing an engine, transmission, cooling system and brakes." A lot more.

I had to stop reading at the part that it took three days to get the P-trap
out, and then blaming it on the "world of the VW bus."
