Ok, call me crazy but I have used the following meathod as well as at least
two others I know. Now I don't suggest this as a permanent fix but if you're
in a bind and don't have another alternative this will get you through - at
least it did for me.

I used a spark plug - simple as that. It worked great. I cannot take credit
for the idea - ut it worked. I know at least one other Vanagon owner who
used a spark plug and ended up cutting the end off to shorten it and just
kept it at that.

Thanks,
