Just bought 89 Vanagon Wolfsburg Carat in super? shape except motor. Has sat unused since 97 when gal who was driving it said lights on dash started flickering and motor started to squeel. She cut it off and pulled over. It was towed to a mechanic? who said he could not fix it.Was then towed to another mechanic? who said no compression on any cylinder. Then he fixed? it so he had compression on 2 cyl. Motor would not run so he gave up and this pretty van sat till I talked owner into selling it. Where should I start to check motor?
