Drive long distance in 110 degree heat...
engine is out, going back to Bear to be fixed, in the mean time we are putting in a carburated loaner engine. Should be on the road Saturday evening!
Drive smart, if the engine's air cooled (and especially new) don't drive during the middle of a steamy, southern day!
Man-o-man, I'm sending good Karma your way Laura. I really hope you get a break and that van starts to realize how hard your trying to get on the road. Keep up the good work, I cant wait for your travel updates once you hit the road.

That's weird...hundreds of thousands of brand-new air-cooled VWs left VW of Brazil's factory and were driven straight into the tropics without this problem. I wonder what actually went wrong....
ReplyDeletethanks Jeff~ i am hoping our luck will get good soon! @ anonymous~ thats exactly how i felt. however when they leave the factory they are broken in. since mine was still in the process everything had a lot of friction, heating the engine further. lesson learned
