Turn the heat

The four levers from top to bottom are:

1. The windscreen air flow. Left is closed, right is open. (There's a little windshield symbol attempting to depict this.)

2. The air temperature. Left is no heat, right is maximum heat.

3. The footwell air flow. Left is open, right is closed. (There's a little arrow pointing down, implying air down there)

4. The rear ceiling air flow. Left is open, right is closed. Rear ceiling air is not heated. (Again, there's a little picture trying to convey this.)

The dash air flow is controlled directly on each dash vent. Up is closed, down is open. Dash air is NOT heated in '87 & older vans. Dash air can be heated (via the 2^nd lever) on '88 & newer vans. (Some late 87 vans had the dash heat.)

The door 'vents' are air exit vents that allow air to exit the van when opened. Forward is open, rearward position is closed. (This applies only to '87 & older vans. '88 & newer have air exits at the back end of the rear-side windows that are always open)

Colors are used in the vent symbols as follows: Blue is cold. Red is hot. White is variable from cold to hot. Thus the rear ceiling vent symbol is blue, depicting that only cold air is available there.

All of these air vent controls operate independently except that closing one air outlet will naturally cause more air to flow from the open vents.

Note that none of the levers control as an 'OR' function like: left for dash air -OR- right for foot air. They are all just simple open & close of one device only.

There are no 'recirculate' controls. If you want air flow, it must come in from outside the van. If you want NO air flow, just close each vent independently.

Dangerous tunnel

Another movie you can find here

This is really extremely strange. I don't know what happening exactly, in the prev video I was thinking that is something like ice on the road. But this one is on a tunnel so it no excuses. I don't know exactly what happening, maybe because of the air currents or just something psychological that is happening with the drivers because of the lighting.

Dangerous corner

I don't know exactly what is going on there but something is relay strange in this corner.

ATV is:

In replay the question in the comment below about what is an ATV,here is a cite from Wikipedia:

The term "all-terrain vehicle" is used in a general sense to describe any of a number of small open motorized buggies and tricycles designed for off-road use. However, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) defines an ATV as a vehicle that travels on low pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, and with handlebars for steering control. By the ANSI definition, it is intended for use by a single operator. The 4-wheeled versions are most commonly called "quads," "four-wheelers" or "ATVs" in the United States and Canada, and "quad bikes" or "quad cycles" in other English-speaking countries. Models with 3 wheels are typically known as ATCs (though this is a Honda trademark[1]) and "three-wheelers," and less commonly "all-terrain cycles" and "trikes." 6- and 8-wheel models exist for specialized applications. The rider sits on these models just like on a motorcycle, but the extra wheels make them more stable at slow speeds. ATVs can also be considered Off Highway Vehicles (OHV) or Off Road Vehicles (ORV), along with motorcycles, Jeeps and other off-road capable machines.

I am back.

I am back on town. My vacation was extended a little bit. I was somewhere in the mountains and I was riding an ATV. That was the best part of the vacation.

Hapy New Year

This year I am not going to post because I will be in a kinda of vacation. And probably I will not have internet access where I am going. So have fun and Happy New Year !

Damage report (inplications)

I didn't had time to tell more last time I post so now I will complete the report.

So I sad the water pump is screwed, but even more the distribution belt is torn apart because of the other wheel that is right next to the water pomp pulley and was touching it. So that wheal must be replaced, and the distribution belt and the water. So you see how one thing can damage everything. This will cost me at least 200 bucks. So this year I will stay in house because I don't have a car. Anyway whist to stay in house and rest, now I have my occasion.


Ho Ho Ho! Mary Christmas !

Damage report.

Like I have promise , I am going to explain what happened.
I wanted to install the belt, but just before that I made an inspection and I have discovered that the water pump pulley is damaged and is vibrating. This is because the when the old belt broke, it twisted around the other pulleys while still attached to the water pump one, so it was forcing the pulley up. So it is moving half of centimeter in and out. That means he need replacement.

Bad news.

I didn't manage to fix the car but I manage to get it home. Seems that the belt is to large. Also some other stuff needs replacement like the water pump and the distribution belt. I will gonna tell you all about tomorrow. For now I will going to sleep because I am very tired and I think I catch a flew.

Romania

By the way:

• Romania is in Europe.
  
• Is not a Russian country like most of the Americans think.
• Transylvania is a region of Romania, is not a separate country.
  
• We don't have vampires here. And the wolfs are just a few in reservations and national parks.
  
• Dracula is inspired from a old Romanian king called Vlad Ţepeş (Vlad the Impaler) that was not a vampire. Just order a lot of death sentences. And because the electricity wasn't invented in the XV th century it was using the next best thing Impalement is an act execution whereby the victim is pierced by a long stake. Is a cruel way but it can make a point.
  
• Yes. We have cites, cars, computers and internet here.
