[V6-12v] Water in the Heater Core

[Tom Christiansen]

Casimiro,

I don't know what goes wrong with the cam position sensor. I would guess
it's an inductive or hall effect sensor of sorts. If it has mechanical
parts, they could wear out. Who knows...

As far as cleaning the rear window. I haven't had any issues cleaning it
with Windex or other cleaners. I did my best to wipe in the direction of the
wires, though.
