I am getting warning signals from my starter/solenoid. Sometimes (not always)the starter engages but cannot turn over the engine for a second or two. So far it has started each time. Replaced the starter and solenoid at 70k miles I think for a similar problem but don't remember details. Now at 145k miles. The battery specific gravity still shows in the full charge range in warm weather on all cells and is less than one year old. Terminals all are clean. Anyone out there experience a similar situation? Do Vanagon starters/solenoids have about a 75k mile life before needing brushes or new solenoid contacts? Larry
