We have the 1985 Vanagon GL that I bought from the salvage yard.  We have
had to go through almost everything. We ahve made short 5 and 6 mile trips
with out too much trouble.  We have been havng problems with the left bank
of injectors not putting gas into the cylinders.  I have them working half
the time if not more, and probably three cylinders most of the time if not
all four.
    We took a fourty mile trip in it this afternoon,  it's first since the
resurection..lol..!  It's now easy to tell when I'm running on 2, 3 or all
four by the muffler sound... and that is still an intermittent problem.
Losing one or two( We have worked with the grounds quite a lot ).cylinders
on the left bank.

    Also the syncronizing gear on secod gear, seems a bit worn, I have felt
it a couple of times on shift.  I imagine that is next on the list for tear
down, and the shifting is very tight, again I assume it's the rubber
gromments it slides in.

    Except for those problems the Volkswagen experience is most exciting.  I
cannot ocunt the folks who wave or give a thumbs up.. course they may have
been watching the poor little thing on the salvage yard lot too...and know
what it is...and are glad it's on the road again.?

I appreciate all advice in advance..!!
