If it isn't Tom Hanks and his broken odometer,let me guess, it reads 18.6 miles You may have unseated the plug in the back of the cluster, down low. Try pushing it back in or re-seating it. Also, lights acting peculiarly and inexplicable issues like that can also be related to the dreaded $10 ignition switch syndrome. If it isn't that it may be soon. Do a search for the exact replacement procedure, there are some excellent write...

Get one from 10cent. That seems to be the best engine for WBXR's unless you want a conversion.

There is a metal clip on the end of the strut that should be removed or spread so that the strut end comes free from the ball mount.

stalling problem.....
Published (2009-11-25 09:57:00)
I would start with the fuel filter. Take the old one and see how much crud is in it before you condem the fuel tank. Eventually you will need to drop the tank to reseal it. You can look inside the filler neck hole and the sending unit whole and see the interior of the tank. If the filter is clean, you should check the fuel pressure and volume.

Replacing window seals
Published (2009-11-25 15:33:00)
Vanagons always seem to have that old seam sealer in there but I smooth it out a bit if it has high points and reinstall without new sealer. I so far have not had a problem with any leaks.

I'm looking for a pretty much turn key engine that works with all the vanagon connections. I have an 86 and looking for any engines that are not overly priced. I've seen them from $1600 to $11,000 what gives? How can I find the best priced engine without going over the top? Any suggestions for places to look would help. Thanks.

Are talking about the driver/passenger door windows? If you are not touching the wing window, the remaining seals are easily done without removing the window. In my experience I had to cut the lower seals a bit to fit. Measure carefully and leave it a bit longer than you think you need to.
I hear the wing window is a bit more involved. I left mine in place.

I just saw that one too. I also saw the rust underneath. They probably don't want to sell it but if someone is willing to pay that much they will. Custom this and that? humbug. All those ad ons do not cost that much. _________________ 87 Syncro Westy (junk or fix)(nonrunning)

Actually, looks more like stripper (which can be an acid). Do you have youthful twits in your neighborhood or somebody with a grudge? Bummer either way, hope you catch them eventually. Another poster had success with a neighbors security video camera. _________________ Geology with a Syncro rocks!

Going up hills you will probably want a bigger engine. Going down hills you will probably want bigger brakes.
