Subject:85 MV Slow Starting
From:Jeffrey Wiegand
Date:Wed, 26 Dec 2001 06:50:56 -0600

After almost a year of being off the list, I'm looking forward to a very
full inbox again. I hope everyone is having a nice Holiday. Our 85 MV and
92 Jetta both died last week, and while we have the Jetta back, Brownie
(MV) is still having problems. The mechanic says that the starter is going
way too slow and will burn out another one if the problem isn't fixed. He'
s going to start trying to isolate the "circuit", but I was wondering if
any of you Vanagonauts knew of the probable problem. It has two batteries,
  and usually starts well the first time, but after it is warmed up, it is
very hard to start.

Additionally, we are planning another trip out to Phoenix, but have 2 sets
of grandparents that will be accompanying us. Any brilliant ideas on a 9
seater Rental solution?

Thanks!

JW
