Drive Safely & Good Luck Ken Lewis 86 VW Transporter Three Door Pickup 60 Porsche T-5 Coupe 85 VW GL Vanagon<Elvis>awaiting engine I would greatly appreciate any information/advice/next thing to do..../ that you Volks could give me regarding overheating problem.........I might also mention that I did notice a noticeable power loss when going up hills....like having to shift into third or lower.......with the splittie pushing the Vanagon practically up the hills.
