Just bought another Vanagon for my fleet...

    It's an '81 air-cooled L...

    120K

    Wrong size tires

    quite a bit of Blow-by...

    My question...

    Can I use the Bosch triple electrode  W8DTC plugs in the air-cooled
2.0L?

    I have used them in both my WBX Vanagons and all my 5 cylinder Audis
and have been greatly satisfied with the increase in performance and the
relative longevity...

    I'd like to put a set in this Van (which badly needs a tune-up)
until I can effect a top-end rebuild when the weather warms a bit (It's
8 degrees here in southern NH this morning w/ wind chill around -15).

    This Van will be FS once I install the weekender middle seat & rear
seat/bunk.  I didn't pay a heck of alot, so the asking price of
$700-$800 will reflect that.  It will have new correct size tires on
it.  Price will be higher if I do any major engine work.
