It will work just fine. Only difference I can tell is the response time.

Subject: Idea about Auxilary Air Valve

I hate to sound like Chicken little again, but as far as I can find the
Auxilary Air Valve for the 83-85 1.9l is no longer available from any of
my
sources.  I got a couple from a wholesaler who had them in the shelf but
now
they are gone as well.  I had a customer call me today and ask about
using
the AAV from a Rabbit.  I looked at the pictures of the Vanagon version
and
the Rabbit version and they look the same.  They both have a different
Bosch
part number.  Does anyone know if using the Rabbit one on the Vanagon
would
work?  Has anyone tried this?  If no one has, I am going to buy the
Rabbit
version and test it out on my 85 Westy.  But I thought I would ask the
list
first for their experience.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
