Subject: For Sale: misc. new Vanagon parts
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
My brother sold his 1991 Vanagon and has a few misc. Vanagon parts to sell.
First item
R-12 to R-134a conversion kit for 1991 Vanagon
Includes NEW sealed in bag receiver/dryer #253 260 633A (says Made in USA on
label), NEW sealed in bag blue o-rings and valve adapters, part #5304002 ,
and NEW unopened plastic bottle of Castrol Retro A/C premium polyol ester
lubricant. Box that valves, o-rings and lubricant are in says "Southeast
Air, Inc." on it. Also included is a copy of the Volkswagen of United
States Technical Bulletin published 1995 that looks like it was printed from
a web site.
I believe he purchased this kit from The Bus Depot a couple of years ago but
never got around to installing it. The numbers on the receiver dryer and
the box match the numbers on T B D's web site for model year 1991. I'm not
certain what other years it will fit. Kit does not include refrigerant and
you will need to be able read and follow printed instructions. This job
also requires special tools and specific procedures that must be observed
to achieve the desired results. NO technical assistance provided by seller!
Current prices from T B D for receiver/dryer is $59.95, conversion kit
o-rings, adapters and lubricant, $29.95. (Total of $89.90)
He will only sell both item together, $65.00 including shipping in
continental US.
Next item
Bosch Oxygen Sensor # 13913 Fits '86 to 91 2.1L Vanagons. NEW in box with
factory plastic cover over tip and "Never Seize" on threads. Has three wires
(2 white, 1 black) and molded three pin male plug end.
Purchased from T B D for $49.95. Current price from T B D is $39.95. T B
D's description says "must splice connector" and the part number are the
same so plan on splicing to install. No installation instruction included
or implied.
He will sell for $25.00 including shipping in continental US.
Next item
Two upper ball joints, part number 251 407 361 NEW in plastic bags.
Purchased from T B D, never installed. I don't know why. No installation
instruction included or implied.
Current price from T B D $24.95 each. He will sell both for $30.00
including shipping in continental US.
Last item....
I bought these o-rings when I was rebuilding the front CV's and axles on my
'87 Syncro. I had to special order them from the VW dealer and they didn't
arrive in time to replace while I had the front axles apart so I cleaned the
old ones and reinstalled without incident. I believe they were called
"splash rings" in the Bentley but I don't have mine handy to confirm.
Basically a couple of large o-rings (4" + or -) that fit somewhere on the
front axle assembly of a Syncro. If you have rebuilt your Syncro front
axles, you may know what and where they are. No installation instruction
included or implied.
FREE! That's right, FREE to first interested listee to contact me via
e-mail. I'll never use them, shame to throw them away.
Contact agmartin@gis.net if interested.
