Subject:      Removing rear heater (Putting copper in coolant line)
Comments: To: Vanagon Mailing List <Vanagon@VANAGON.COM>

The previous owner of my 87 Van found that the rear heater had a coolant
leak. So he removed it and didn't do a very good job gerry rigging the two
coolant hose connections together. So, I undid his gerry rigging and got a
standard piece of 3/4" copper hot water tubing and bent it into a U and
connected to two coolant hoses under the bench seat. (Before, the tubes were
connected straight on and were crimping thus allowing very little coolant to
flow.)


Does anybody know if this copper is going to react in a very bad way with
the coolant or if there is a better way to solve my problem. I was told the
rear heater never puts out much heat in vanagons anyway.


Thanks,
Eric
