I think if you will get a vacuum storage canister (you remember those funky black plastic bunch o'balls under the hoods of old vw's, the watercooled ones) it would remedy your problem. I once fixed a Saab (swedish vanagon at heart) by replacing a storage canister. The lady would hit the gas and the drop in manifold pressure would switch the a/c into defrost mode (default for most Euro cars), real nice in the middle of a richmond summer!! Just place a "T" in the line to the front and add a vw or similar canister! Patrick F. and screamin'baby thomas Does anyone know of a way to make this better? I also have a Volvo 740 into which I put the same kind of cruise control from an Audi and it always stays right on the set speed without varying. >> |
