A starter relay located in-line with the starting circuit to take the strain off of the ignition switch helped tremendously with my Squareback. I had the same type of "heat soak" problems on long trips (Arizona to Ohio). Once I installed the relay the problem hasn't returned. Although my car is 6 volt, I am sure the results would be similar if not better with your 12 volt car. -Yancy Everhart 66 Squareback 66 Sunroof Beetle ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
