Subject:help '88 westy broke, revisited
From:Kris Estes
Date:Tue, 29 Aug 2000 08:17:53 MST

Hello Everyone,
This is a follow up from last week where I posted a plea for help regarding
my '88 westy which died while on it's trial run before our big trip up to
Yellowstone/Glacier from AZ in a few weeks.  I was driving in the White
Mountains of AZ when the Van slowly began to lose power (drove the last 7
miles at < 15 mph) until we reached the nearest phone where it then died and
then refused to start.  After an all day failed attempt to get it going
myself, I had it towed to the nearest VW guy I knew of in Flagstaff (yes, it
did cost an arm and a leg, thank god for Insurance).  Turned out to be the
Air Flow Regulator.  Also a very expensive part + 3 hours labour.  I am not
real sure on the Labour charge (anyone know the listing for this) but
anyway, "Ernie" is now ready to go I hope for the real trip.  Thanks to all
who offered their help!

Kris
