Hi all! Just trying to get home! Thought we were good to go after the awesome help from Mark Drillock, and Will in Oceanside, CA! Thank you! Well, here is the problem, and I am thinking its not good! First off, I am in a 1990 Vanagon, but it has a Tiico conversion. 2.0 92 Golf. I saw the temp light go off, and pulled over. Opened the inner tank, and found no water! There were no billows of steam, no water dumping on the ground. Thankfully had water, and poured in 2 gallons!!! Let the engine cool of course, and it was warmish water. Normally when I put this much water in, I have a leak somewhere! No foamy oil either btw. Walked to the nearest farm house, filled my gallon jugs, and filled the overflow tank too. Let it run a bit, and topped it off inside. Drove about ten miles, and pulled over to the McDonalds in Willow, CA to fill my bottles, and the temp light went off just as I pulled in to the parking lot. Empty inside tank again!!! No dumped water, or steam! No foam in the oil. Dark out, but checking hoses now. Need more minds, as I am not a mechanic! Called the rescue squad, but no one is home. :D My cell number is 541-231-4383. Thanks!!!!!! Julianna 1990 VW Vanagon Westfalia with Tiico conversion. (The Rastafalia) 1988 VW Vanagon. (James)
