[T3] Gas-heater and Automatic

[Vincent Molenaar <molenari@dds.nl>]

- Gast heater question -

Last year I bought a B2-EberspŠcher ("Espar" in US) Gas Heater from a
German woman. She said it came from a Type 3 Karmann Ghia. I looked the
heater up in the type 3 parts book and it basically looks the same. Does
anyone have pictures of the gas-heater installed in his/her type 3? The
partsbook only shows the parts, not how it is installed. Beside this I
have only found one picture so far. It comes from the 1973 Type 3
brochure.


- Automatic question (fluid level) -

Since I just bought this car I frequently check the oil level of my
engine, to make sure everything's OK. I also wanted to check the fluid
level of my transmission. The Haynes manual says you should do it with
the engine and transmission on normal working temp and the lever in "N".
That's how it is written, that's how it has been done. The thing is that
every time I take the dipstick out, it shows a different level, never
below minimum though....but still...am I doing something wrong why the
level is never the same on the stick?

Does anyone have experience in driving an Automatic with too little
ATF-oil inside? What happens? What noises come up?
