Hello everyone, I am a new member here at the List. I am very happy to be a part of the group and hope to be able to learn alot from everyone here.
I have two questions:
One- How many miles to the gallon have some people been able get on e 1985 VW Vanagon Westy? Mine is the Weekender package. My poor fuel economy (about 14 - 15 mpg) I thought was perhaps due to my O2 sensor. I just purchased the van last Nov. and experienced sluggishness during takeoff after the van was warm. the o2 light was on so I figured that the sensor was old and replaced it. While waiting to replace it I disconnected it and no more problem with sputtering. After my new o2 arrived I replaced it and still the same problem. it is now still disconnected. There is also a pre-sensor or something on the intake. I have tried different combo's of connection of pre-sensor connected and o2 disconnected and vice versa but the o2 disconnected is the best. Help Please!!!! My mileage is low and fuel is high
Two - I was also wondering does anyone know of a source that would have the original courderoy upholstry. My seat bottoms are ragged but my backs are fine. I would love to match that tan material.
Thanks everyone!!!!
