I'm new to the Vanagon world and I =
need a few
answers .
1 - I just purchased a =
1988 Vanagon
GL , 7 seater and the middle seat slides from side to side on the =
rails, I've
looked for a
locking system
,but haven't found any . How do I secure it ,I must be missing some =
part
?
Dunno...
2 - The coolant light =
flashes
when I start the van and stays on until the vehicule gets =
warm then
it goes away,I've change =
the coolant sensor
and a leaky coolant overflow tank,and it still flashes, the =
temperature gauge
doesn't show any
overheating it doesn't go over =
the halfway
mark . Does anybody have any idea what I can do to resolve =
this
??
****Could be the temp sensor is =
bad... or the
coolant level sensor... even though you replaced it it could be a bad
one...
3 - On my first long trip =
with the
van the oil pressure light came on after about 90 minutes =
of
highway driving , again the
the =
van wasn't
overheathing ,I just had an oil change 3 days prior to this trip , I =
checked
the oil level everything was o.k.
It =
didn't do the
problem the next day in city driving , but when I drove back home =
about 2
hours it did this again .
It seems to happen when I
take the cruise control off, ex: I cruise at 60 miles/hour everything =
is o.k.
I hit the bakes the rpm goes down and the oil temp seems to turn =
on at
around 2000 rpm. I've had the compression checked and everyting is
o.k..
*** the most common cause is using =
the wrong oil
filter and/or the wrong oil... What filter do you have??? What weight
oil???
Should be using a Mann/Mahle filter =
(or VW dealer
filter replacement) and 20-50 oil (except in winter in very cold
places).
Bill
Can anybody help =
????
Thank you in advance ,
