Hi Volks,


      Just when things were back together a going smoothly.....the
illustriously reliable wasserboxer auto tranny...blew a leak in the fluid
cooler.  Dexron is in my antifreeze now, and very little is in the tranny.  I
have managed to remove the component and examine it.  It does appear to have a
pinhole leak inside (verified by blowing into the coolant line with the other
plugged....small whistling noise).  I am currently in Dawson Creek, BC and
have located a couple of VW dealers...one in Grande Prarie and two in
Edmonton.  I will call them in the morning.


Two questions:


    Can the cooler be bypassed without loss of performance for a limited time
(3000 miles)?


    DOES ANYBODY HAVE ONE OF THESE THINGS?  ( part #: 087 409 061 C)




Thanks All
