Hi all you nice Vanagon experts, I'm seeking your advice and comments. Periodically (often after the van hasn't been used for awhile) I get a knocking sound from near the valve cover on the driver's side. It gets louder when I increase the idle speed. It gets softer and often goes away after the van has been driven for a few minutes. The sound has been occuring more frequently over the last 20,000 miles (out of 137,000 total). What are your thoughts? Thanks to everyone in advance, Lee Kouns 88 Westy Los Angeles, CA |
