oil can be leaking from higher up on engine. u just need to clean engine, then after running for awhile, look for leak, be aware that oil on engine can be blown back over engine by the fan, so some hard looking may be what it takes to find the problem

Yes, the thermostat would be a very good candidate. Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine block. The hose connects to a housing that is bolted to the engine. Remove the hose, remove the two bolts that hold the housing and the thermostat should be right under it. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the surfaces, both the housing and the engine before you try to put it all back together. Some thermostats hosings are sealed with a gasket, others are sealed with a rubber seal. Whichever yours has, make sure you replace the seal. While you're at it, inspect the hoses and replace any that are bulging, leaking or brittle. Fill the coolant reservoir with fresh coolant after you have put everything back together. It's a very easy fix and should help with the heat.

If you have a remote that locks & unlocks your antitheft system it could be as simple as resetting your remote, I had a similar experience.

if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup

There is a sensor located at the bottom of the coolant reservoir.

I don't think it will fit. Do they both have a medium base size?

compressing air on a chamber, ther sudently relesing it to the burning chamber (engine) then the reaction is a powerful exploding of fuel increasing the engine release of energy, transforming it in horese power.

A turbocharger is a supercharger that is powered by exhaust gas. There are two turbines that are connected on a shaft. One is on the exhaust side and as exhaust gases build up it spins thereby spinning the turbine on the intake side forcing more air into the intake manifold. The computer adds more fuel and you get a stronger explosion thereby making more horsepower.

hi. you should go under the steering columm and you should see a block box in there and just unhook all the wire but after unhooking them up you should see a relay conneted to your starter. unhook those wire from relay and connect wire going to starter. to check your starter wire connection go to bulldogsecurity.com. you can also text me in my phone i will gladly want to help you 862 222 6497

You can't. When they make those things, they fill the box with epoxy - a process called potting. It makes the computer more reliable, but also impossible to repair.

1984 was the very last year for Airstream service manuals. For a couple of years after Airstream produced only smaller owners manuals and by the end of the 80's there was nothing for several years.

vox231 on eBay has the 1984. Ask if it covers your needs.

Airstream is now offering reprints of service manuals for vintage Airstream and Argosy trailers.

The fuse box is located in the car underneath the dash on the drivers side. There is a small cover that you simply pull down and it will release. All fuses are listed on the inside of this cover & yes, the wipers are one of the fuses.

Yes and No, this will increase the fuel intake to give a bit more torque, but the ratio between air and fuel may cause problems with the way the engine will run.

tie rod. (aka steering knuckle) take your tire off. take the cotter pin out then unbolt the end, of the tie rod end that connects behind your brake rotor shield. mark the inner nut that holds the steering knuckle onto the inner tie rod with white out. you shouldn't have to get an alignment then. its easy. tighten the crap out of the 2 nuts you take off. don't forget to get a new cotter pin.

Yeah sure, its that thing you stick your key into to start it.

Excessive fuel (way rich) or no spark. Check for spark first.

YES you will, the tire will cotinue to wear out of round and cause the vehical to vibrate or shake. Replace ASAP Answer #2 Good answer. It could possibly be a bad belt which can cause all kind of unsafe problems.

Actually it should only pop the hood a little bit, the interior latch release is an anti theft device designed to keep people out of your engine compartment. The second latch release inside the grille is meant to completely open the hood, the double latch system also saves you from having the hood hit the windshield if the latch fails while driving, or you forget to latch it completely.

Every part of the computer control and injection system needs to be considered. For example, the fuel pump of an injected system runs at a much higher pressure than a carburated system. You'll need to work that out. You would need to work around the electronics for the ignition if you decide to use a HEI system and you'd probably need to do some rewiring of the keyswitch circuit as well as possibly some modifications to the gauges. Understand that most injector fuel pumps are also connected to the fuel gauge system. Whatever you THINK you've worked out, there will be additional concerns. But it can certainly be done. Converting the engine will probably be the easy part.

BRIDGE THE TERMINALS GND AND TBS IN THE DIAGNOSTIC SOCKET. SWITCH THE IGNITION ON. THIS WILL CAUSE THE ABS LIGHT TO FLASH. (BY COUNTING THE FLASHES WILL EXPLAIN THE FAULT STORED IN THE ECU. EXPLAINED BELOW.) DEPRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL 10 TIMES IN 10 SECONDS. REMOVE THE BRIDGE WIRE. THIS WILL TURN OFF THE ABS LIGHT AS LONG AS THE FAULT HAS BEEN CURED.

Take the car to your nearest VW garage n get the thing serviced - If a service is needed! Otherwise: Note: the Service Reminder Indicator displays 3 messages: OEL, IN 01, and IN 02. These display to alert the driver to follow the items listed under the manufacturer's service interval. To reset the message displays, turn the ignition switch on. Press and hold the odometer reset button "A" located below the speedometer. Turn off the ignition while holding the button. "OEL" will display on the indicator. Press and hold the lower digital clock reset button "B" until five dashes appear in the display. If needed, press the odometer reset button until "IN 01" appears and then press the clock reset button until five dashes appear. If needed, press the odometer reset button until "IN 02" is displayed and then press the clock reset button until five dashes appear. To exit reset mode, turn the ignition switch on and when "IN 01" appears, turn the ignition switch off.

its located between the breather and the throttle body its a 2 wire senser grey and brown.. there are lots of aftermarket (chips) or basicaly resistors available for your model and all they really do is fool the computer into thinking its cold outside thusfore advancing the timing and adding more fuel for a richer condition which usally will add a few horsepower and footpounds of toqure but normally decreases the fuel mileage due to the richer conditions. but some ive seen on eBay claim enormous gains in both hp and fuel milage.. im installing one right now and i can let you know the difference. i have a gtec to let me know the hp increase.

I have a 1988 420sel. I'm not sure if they are the same but I have a slide switch just to the right of the overhead light between the sun visors.
