Hi everybody, Been thinking about the vanagon family. We're on our way back east, and the van is doing great. L.A. to Reno Reno to Nephi UT Nephi to The only thing was a pool of coolant on the passenger-side floormat this morning. I had actually used the heater yesterday - it gets cold on Beartooth Pass in Montana - really cold. Anyway, my heater hoses are attached with those cheesy spring-type hose clamps. I was able to slide it back, and put a regular screw type hose clamp on. I did that in a restaurant parking lot at 10,000' above sea level. Montana is amazing. I've never seen country like this, and I grew up in Tahoe. I get a check-engine light when I'm downhilling in gear. I know this is somehow related to the speed sensor and my 1994 subaru 2.2. And then sometimes I get a random CEL, just when I pull off a highway and drive in slow traffic. The CEL is accompanied by a change in idle, choppy sounding like a 2 cylinder engine. Then it gores away. It's great to be in a vanagon! These are the best camping trips and miles of road I've ever done. Stay safe, and have fun everyone. See ya on the highway! vinnie |
