Hi Ben,

"Way over 30?"  Thanks. Some days I can see 50 bearing down on me like
an oncoming train. Not that it means anything, it's just a number. I
stopped aging in my head a long time ago. Now I just notice that it's
taking longer to heal when I screw up...

You are correct in remembering that my vanagon has a 1.9, but it's
configured with the 2.1L cooling and FI as originally equipped on the 87
chassis.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on the matter, I am certainly going to
pay more attention to the flashing lights from now on and will probably
stock the van with a roll or two of that fancy silicon "rescue tape" and
a gallon or two of coolant as well, just in case.

I definitely enjoy the simplicity of the aircooled engine but I have
been irrevocably spoiled now by the power steering and heat offered by
the watecooled vanagon.

Happy Trails,
