try silicon spray lube for winter use on slide, hinges and door seals....keeps the door seals from freezing down....when it's cold hr -2d C, water thawing and refreezing each day in seals can be a pain in the ----, but silicon spray on seals prevents freeze down.
also use in locks, displaces water, made by 3M and other companies here.
not heavy enough lube for year around use, i use light lithium grease in spray can

well it was -1c here last night in florida and it killed a lot of my plants but the good news is my van never stopped running, funny thing is the tranny does play up in the cold weather it is sometimes slow to change from 3rd to 4th but once warm it works ok starnge or what.

One more problem! Fast idle! Thrust pedal does not return in upper position (and I have no opportunity to lubricate the controll cabel, its *****! cold!!!). I want to add a temtporary spring.
Oil pressure sensor dies when the engine is cold. Fortunatly I have additional gauge
TPS died too. It was ice inside. I've just get TPS of volga, but it fits aero, if I make to additional holes in it, but it was so cold!!! and I've just used an ol good method... Looks terrible!
I belive it will not be lost till next warm day....
Well!!! lets wait for a good warm day....

great pics pablo It's amazing what you can do with a bit of electric tape and some wire, by the way it looks a little like my van under the hood. It must be terrable trying to get parts over there, if I can help I would be willing to mail small parts to you or even big parts if you helped with the shipping cost's. You can email me at u996sps@yahoo.com

This is a temporary fixing! I can not work on it if -33dgr C outdors!
By the way! I tried to lubricate the thrust controll cabel, but the pedal did not return in its upper position (fast idle). I had to add a temporary spring. Now when I press throutle, it seems to me, that I've lost horspower. Litlle more forse and she runs!
Who knows, what is the minimal and maximal temperature for aero use ?
I had problems with overheating, when it was over 40 C (100dgr F), but after tranny swap this probleme disapeared. And now its difficult to overheat her.
