Operation:arting the engine• careful when running the engine in anfined space. Danger of poisoning.Check that gear lever is in neutral. (Onvehicles with automatic gearbox: Selectorlever at "P" or "N") and apply handbrakebefore starting.Depress the clutch pedal when startingso that the starter only has to turn the engine.As soon as the engine starts, release theignition key so that the starter can disengage.Before the starter can be operated againthe key must be turned back to position 1.The non-repeat lock in the ignition switchprevents the starter from being operatedwhen the engine is running as this coulddamage the starter.Do not try to warm engine up by running itwith vehicle stationary. Drive off straightaway.• Only when it is very cold is it advisable tolet the engine run for about 30 seconds ata fast idle before moving off. This givesthe lubrication system time to circulatethe oil properly.• On vehicles with an automatic gearbox,run engine at a fast idle for about 1 minutebefore selecting a gear.The increase in the idling speed whichtakes place as the engine starts to warmup can be reduced by just tapping the acceleratorpedal briefly.• On vehicles with the 37 kW engine, theengine may rattle briefly after being started.This is caused by the hydraulic tappetswhich have to build up to a certain oilpressure first. The noise is harmless andno cause for alarm.• At temperatures above freezing pointDepress accelerator pedal slowly whileoperating the starter.• At temperatures below freezing pointBefore operating starter, depress acceleratorpedal fully once and let it returnslowly - this actuates the automatic choke.• When engine is very warmDepress accelerator pedal fully while operatingstarter but do not "pump" the pedal.www.WestfaliaT3.info - a useful website for owners and enthusiasts of <strong>VW</strong> Westfalia T25 / T3 / Vanagon Campervans
