Hi there , Vanagon'ners! I have a kind of veird problem that I wonder if anyone else has been suffering, and may have a solution to :-\ I have a -88 vanagon with the 2.1 digifant engine. Its normally running like a champ but every now and then it�ll get hiccups! The weirdest thing of it all is that it�s almost always happening when I�m out for a little longer drive and the thing that happens is that after a couple of hours driving at app. 55 mph the engine starts stalling for about a microsec. at the time. This could go on for about a minute or two and sometimes it is followed by a big black exhaust cloud which is cured by restarting the engine a couple of times but the most common thing is that the "hiccups" stops and the car runs on like if nothing ever happened. The Vanagon has never stopped permanently so it�s only a minor problem but nevertheless a f******g anoying one! Any ideas ????
