Hello all,
     Four questions.
1} where is the O2 sensor mileage reset?
2) I have the vanagon problem but only in the winter while climbing
through franconia notch. If I pull over and idle 10 min, all is OK at
least for a while. I pulled air flo sens, and put in freezer. Infinite
ohms at wiper. But box was open. probably was a frozen condensation film
on element.
Any other guesses?
Will try the 22mf 35v Ta cap test is next winter.
3) Is the CD manual sold by Bentley for the 87 any good? Does it have
different material from the Bentley book? Does it have parts breakdowns?
Is it scanned bitmap?
4)Rear hatch gas struts have been respecified to droop for the short
people. Now we tall ones get banged in the head. VW should have supplied
a pullrope instead of weaker struts. Does anybody know the # of a
stronger strut?
     Thanks, Stan Harrison
