Cool. Thanks for the welcome. Did a day trip this weekend to Topanga and she ran very well. Maintained 70 on the freeway solid at just under 4k rpm. Had one experience my first week w/ what i fear might be "vanagon syndrome." Lost pwr on the frwy after only 3-4 miles. Didn't "hiccup" per say, but simply wouldn't respond to throttle.

Cool. Thanks for the welcome. Did a day trip this weekend to Topanga and she ran very well. Maintained 70 on the freeway solid at just under 4k rpm. Had one experience my first week w/ what i fear might be "vanagon syndrome." Lost pwr on the frwy after only 3-4 miles. Didn't "hiccup" per say, but simply wouldn't respond to throttle. Maintained solid idle however. Put a good bit of white smoke into the cab, but once off the hwy and milking the throttle for 1/4 mile (trying to make nearest svc. station) it suddenly cleared up. No shutdwn/restart required. Drove home (about 4 miles) without incident. Let her sit for a couple hours, then drove to my local vw guy (Motrose Motors = A++). They flushed and bled coolant (which was suggested I do by seller a week prior) and she's run solid since. This weekend to Topanga was a dream. Still a bit fearfull. Planning to take fam to high sierra fest in july. Heading to Quincy via Marin from L.A.. All looks good but for that one wierd "syndrom-esque" experience. On another note . . . I have a tiny leak somewhere (shocker). Not sure where. According to dip stick . . . I've yet to need to add oil. Coolant is good too, once filled post flush/bleed. It's not fuel. But I drop about a quarter sized spot of something each park. It's dead center, 'bout 4 inches inside rear bumper. I've about 7k on "rebuilt" 2.1L. Thoughts? (and please to forgive the rant... I have a gift for making a short story long)<br/>
