Does anyone know where I can find a set of carpet kits for the vanagon? The dealer prices are outrageous.

Well, the 4 cylinders fit perfectly, believe it, that's all we're dealing with in the Tiico conversions. The higher decklid is only when a 5-cylinder engine is installed. > Does the SA Vanagon have EXACTLY THE SAME emission controls as the US > Vanagon? If not, is it not possible those may conflict with an SA > engine? Of course not! It would not have 'exactly the same' controls, as it is not the same engine! The conversion does not direct you to connect the carbon canister or oxygen sensor, but I was able to reconnect both in my first Tiico conversion. It is slated to go to the emissions sniffer this week, and I believe it will come out cleaner than the waterboxer, especially at idle. Karl Mullendore Westy Ventures 1987 Syncro Westfalia 1.9TD |
