    Bill,

    Most of this is a little high-tech for me. But a similar experience
    with an 88 t SW turned out thusly: StopLeak, introduced to remedy
    a drippy radiator, had lodged in the hose between the engine and
    the heater-box in the kick panel, plugging it solid.

    Just my two piasters.

    Cheers,
    Steve Bergin
