Having worked on trucks and public transit buses and lots of other automotive
forms. I would have to say that Vanagons are a bit to a lot better than most
American cars. I have seen a lot of bad examples come out of Motor City. The
level craftsmanship and engineering is simply inferior. I have added new wires
to my 84 Westy and am still doing so. after all it is a 30 year old Camper.
One thing I did was run a new heavy cable from the Pos. post on the Battery to
the starter and new Grounds as well. I also ran a 6 Gauge wire from the Alt.
to the Starter and a hot start relay. It was been working well for me. I got
the Bus Depo Headlamp upgrade. I will install it soon. I need to trace a
problem with my Audio Vox Cruise control which stopped working again. Any body
have any advice?
