Hi all,

I've received my new '89 Westy Syncro, and it's every bit as wonderful as I
thought it would be...

I'm in the process of making it legal, and I noticed something in the
manual that worries me a little...on page 73, in the "Vehicle Operation"
section, it reads:

"Performance testing

If the Vanagon/Transporter Syncro requires testing on a dynamometer (engine
output analysis and brake test) the transaxle drive shaft must be
disconnected.

The differential lock must not be engaged."

Does anyone know whether the two-speed dyno emissions tests would also do
whatever they're worried about in the paragraph above? I don't think
Virginia has replaced all of the emissions stations with dynos yet, but
they're planning on it, and I don't want to be surprised.

Thanks,

--Bob, KE4GDC
