A final note on the recent repair to my 85 Vanagon GL. The last test to see if everything was fixed by replacing the fuel pressure regulator was a nice trip in the pouring rain. Beforel the repair was done, in the rain it did nothing but buck, surge, cut out, flood out, run real rough and used twice as much gas as usual. Today it rained and rained all day. This is normally the kind of day i couldnt trust it. I would park it and drive the old green bomb back-up vehicle. But today i had to test it...and it ran beautiful! ...not a single probleml. No other changes were made in the meantime (I like to pinpoint just what was done to fix a particular problem). For all of the comments and questions I've seen on the list about bucking and surging problems...and all the aggravation i went through, my advice would be to check this, if not simply replace it if you have these running symptoms. Now, a completely off-topic question. Would someone please tell me what the reserve tanks inside both the front wheelwells hold? Regards, Gina |
