Subject:1990 Westfalia: a few questions
From:Francois Poulin
Date:Fri, 8 Oct 1999 11:28:48 -0400

I am new to the list and relatively new to the Westfalia world. I bought
the West last summer and used it for a few camping trips.  I have a four
questions (to start with...) concerning the vehicle and I am confident
that someone from the list can answer them.

1. After I drove about 100 kilometers, whenever I have to engage the
third gear (4 speed trans.) I get a synchro concert and a "clunk".  This
does not happen on a cold or  warm engine. Any explanations?

2. The speed indicator works but the kilometers do not record, is this a
simple repair or should I replace the whole speed indicator/odometer
unit?

The next two questions are, I guess...beginner's questions

3. The opening on the left side to fill the water tank does not accept a
garden hose, what kind of adaptor is needed?  When I filled it so far, I
had to do it from the inside of the van.

4. Is there on the market some kind of propane gas level (or pressure)
indicator?
