Subject:Air Cooled 2.0 : High Hydrocarbon (smog) Parts Check?
From:neil n

Hi all.

Posted to the WW list as I bet there's Bay owners with the 2.0 air
cooled engine.

I'm viewing an air cooled Vanagon today. It failed smog for high
Hydrocarbons. Don't know if this was for the idle or "driving" test.

If the van has a cat, and it looks super old, that may be one cause but.....

Suggestions of quick checks or observations I can do on the cat, cold
start valve, vacuum leaks, other typical easy to spot flaws, would be
most welcome.

Not bringing tools, doing a visual inspection only.

Happy Vanagon List Down Day,

Neil.
