Hi All Fist off an apology for not making it clear on my first post that it was an intro of myself as well as a reply to westies in the Maritimes. After thinking that everything was solved with the oil warning it does not seem to be completly cured. Here is what is happening: When I start the engine and drive away it will buzz at about 2200RPM if and only if I do not let the temperature gauge climb to its full operating temperature at an idle. Once the light and buzzer come on it seems that I have to shut off the enging and then restart it and all is fine. Here is what I have done: I have changed the oil to 20W-50 and replaced the filter with a new VW one. This being a new van to me can anybody tell me if this is normal or if I should be looking for another problem. This did not happen when I took it out for a test drive. Thanks WAde 87 Vanagon GL 92 Escort PS We had a great trip and I love it as a camping vehicle and the drive is super! -- Wade A Settle email: wsettle@mta.ca Psychology/Education Dept.
