My 1990 Vanagon runs fine most of the time but overheats when I take it on the highway. When I have it in forth gear it starts loosing power and slowing down and won’t speed up when I press completely down on the gas peddle, but when I take it out of forth gear it can rev up. The oil light never comes on and it does not seem to be loosing oil. Sometimes after driving awhile the coolant light starts flashing and it may or may not need radiator fluid.
