Hi all, I think my 87 Westy is starting to take a lot longer to warm up. Is this a sign of something bad happening? I have been told that VW's take longer to warm up, but five minutes seems excessive to me. [I recently (two months ago) re-plugged the idle stabilizer back up, and I am wondering if this could be the problem? My mechanic swears it runs better without it, but I can't believe German engineers would make something that they didn't feel the engine really needed.] I am scheduled to take her on a 2800 mile trip next month (Minnesota and back) so this is coming at a very inoportune time ;-) Thanks for any advice.
