Hi Volks!

First: Can anyone give me a difinitive answer on whether my '89 Syncro
Westie has a clear coat on it or not? Did Vanagons come with clear coats?
I searched the archives, got 11 matches, but nothing really black or
white. The local VW dealer tells me to take it to a body shop to find
out. DealUHRSSS!!! I can't deal with 'em!

Second: I lit the stove for the first time in its Westie life. Seems to
work well, though I expected more flame power with an associated roaring
sound; sorta like my big Primus double-burner propane outfitter's camp
stove. Would someone please explain the stove control knobs to me. I
turned the knobs to the center position ( "hollow flame" icon) to light
the stove. No problem. Then I continued to turn the knobs
counterclockwise to the "solid flame" icon, with the thinking that the
flame would get bigger. The flame went OUT. So, what's that right-most
position for anyway? Is my system operating properly? Or should the stove
be operating in "afterburner" mode at that setting?

Otherwise, "Geez, my Vanagon is peachy." :~) Jetta's not though.
