transferred there. Everyone who was logged in after I created the poll should have gotten an email about it as soon at it was created. For those that have joined the list since then, you would have to go to the egroups site and go to the polls options to see the poll. Since it was obvious that no one new was adding to the results, I posted them. However, now that there's more visibility I'll create a duplicate poll and post it ASAP. Alex -----Original Message-----

Re: Standard Transmission Problem
M & T Benne
On high mileage transmissions, the second gear syncro is usually the firstMy 95 EVC has only 72, 000 km, most are highway miles. The reason it occurs at cold temperatures, is because the oil viscosity is high. This provides more resistance to the syncros abilityto "spin" up the main shaft of the transmission. The oil actually warms upin about ten miles or so, due to friction and heat transfer form the engine.synthetic gear box oil might help.I am running synthetic oil If however it the same problem starts to appear on all gears, and gets progressively worse, than it is a sign of a hydraulic Brake reservoir not dropping. Thanks for the info any other ideas? Tobi |

recent bounces
Rick Gordon
today 3 messages bounced, for reasons that the sender wasn't subscribed.
this has been the policy all along, so i'm not sure what's going on. i checked the member lists, and only one of those 3 people was actually listed, and they were set for mode "Web", which I presume to mean they don't receive email but can view the web archives. so anyway, there's obviously some traffic getting through so I don't know whats wrong. if you think you should be a member try resubscribing and we'll see what happens. -rick |

cooling system test - must reading for 5 cyl engines
Jerry Carter
All,
I had just started into the 60,000 mile maintenance service and have come across something you all should check out. Before flushing the coolant, I decided to checkout the "Thermostat control for shutters" [I'll call it the device]. Its mounted between the electric fans. Its a simple device, air passes through the radiator then hits the radiator cowl. The electric fans are mounted to the cowling. There is a small hole, about .6" x 1", that allows air to pass through, exposing the device to warm air. Curious about how it operated, I took the hair dryer out and ran it for a while directing the hot air on the device. Nothing happened. After several more minutes, it finally moved, but not enough to open the shutters. When closed, the shutters seal off the opening behind the electric fans. If they stay closed, the electric fans are next to useless in drawing air through the radiator! In fact, when you're driving, very little air will pass through the radiator because there is no where for the air to go. I next took the 2 screws out holding the device to the cowling and removed it. I could easily open each shutter - they stay open without the device inplace to close them. Curious, I took the van out for a quick spin. The engine warmed up like before, but it didn't get up close to the 230 mark. The temp was reading about 2 notches below where it had always ran, or about 34 degrees cooler! When I bought the van last year, it was reading near the 230 mark. I always thought the gauge was off and never paid attention to the high temp reading. I have since ordered a new device, VWN701121183A, for $53.24 - it came in a few days ago. I ran a bench test with it using the hair dryer. Within 2 minutes on low speed holding the dryer about 6" away, it quickly rotated the arms that would have opened the shutters. This confirms the old part was bad. I waited to post this until I confirmed the old part was bad. I strongly suggest ALL 5 cyl EV owners checkout the operation of this device (you VR6 engine owners don't have this device). All you have to do is open the hood after driving the van (it has to be fully warmed up)and feel the back of the electric fan/shutters (make sure the engine is off, and don't pole your fingers into the shutter openings, the electric fans can come on and ruin your day). You will know if the shutters are open. If you want to see the device open the shutters, just use a hair dryer. You should check this because the coolant temp affects several things: 1. Engine operating temp - on a very hot day you probably have very little cooling margin. This could be very serious if you tow something. 2. The automatic transmission (AT) fluid is "cooled" by the engine coolant via the transmission cooler. I'm sure the AT/fluid would last longer if it operated at the right temp. 3. The engine oil is also cooled by the engine coolant via the oil cooler. I'm sure the engine/oil would last longer if it didn't operate this hot. 4. There could be other side affects (AC compressor running hotter, fuel lines being exposed to higher under hood temps?) All of you who check the operation of there device, can you post if it works or not. I will try to post a piture of the device tomorrow. Jerry |

configuration. I have a 93 MV and had it just over 100 on I-90 in Montana a few years ago. Also had it over 100 on a great stretch of road leading to the Great Sand Dunes in Southern Colorado. It touches the red-line at that speed, so I didn't try any faster...not that there was much left anyway... Rob 93 EVMV 95 Golf GL ----- Original Message -----
