There would be few easy ways of doing this. - You can interrupt the #1 wire on the coil with a switch. - You can interrupt the wire going to the fuel pump. - You can interrupt the wire going to the 50 terminal on the starter. - Install a 1999 or later TDI motor and take the key with you!

Is there an easy way to wire in a kill switch to keep the Vanagon from starting? (This would be as an anti-theft device.) I recently drove a Porsche that had a button hidden under the carpet. Unless the button was held down, the engine would not turn over. Is such a switch a good theft blocker, or would a theif easily bypass such a switch? Thanks Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA |
