Subject:Little heat output in a 85 Vanagon
From:Howard Fleming
Date:Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:39:33 -0500

Greetings all,

I have an 85 Vanagon that is putting out very little heat.  I have
replaced the thermostat, and changed the coolent earlier this year
(had the problem before doing this also).

As far as I can tell, the problem is with the engine not coming up to
tempature (except in hot weather, or very slow stop and go driving).

The needle on the temp gauge is usually toward the bottom of the
gauge.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Howard
