Ryan,

Try VW Paradise in San Marcos on Grand Avenue, (760) 744-9081, probably
about 5 miles from Oceanside.  I thought they were more bug/aircooled
oriented, but it turns out their lot / service bay is very full of Vanagons.
They did the R&R on my Syncro for my recent trans rebuild.

about 8 years (seized motor). I  bought a 'good' used 1.9l motor, installed
it, got it running- for awhile, and now it will not start. I have checked
everything- I think. I want to tow it to an experienced Vanagon repair shop
in the Oceanside (North San Diego area) and get them to see what is wrong. I
figure pay for 2 hours of labor rather than waste 8 hours of mine. Any
recommendations? Thanks in advance.
