Re: Some good battery info - (swiped from the Sprinter list)

Re: Cooling problem in 93 GL
You may also want to purge air from the cooling system. I have had some problems with air bubbles triggering the blinking light. My '95 has a purge on the heater hose, but driving up and down some

As Pat pointed out if everything on a vehicle of any kind was the very finest it would take all the gold in Fort Knox, if there's any left, to buy it! I own a 17 foot Casita travel trailer

Transmission fluid change
Well I did it. My first drain and drop was a success thanks to
Garret's instructions and Steve's parts.
That was the good news.
The bad news is that the belly pan was not there. I guess the

Re: Some good battery info - (swiped from the Sprinter list)
Thanks for posting this informative article, David.
As a practical matter, VW and Winnebago designed and installed a very

Re: Transmission Fluid Fill Help
Yes, that's right. Just pull up on the cap and it should come off. You might want to hold

Re: my 1995 ev camper anemic motor
Has the rubber test pipe cap for the catalytic converter burned through?
You could have a clogged cat.
If the cap has not burned through you can pull it at idle and see if you get a lot of exhaust

So just to make sure that I understand correctly, the little tabs do
