It had a 5/04 and the guy gave me a 6/05 and said, "Enjoy it while it lasts." This is the last year that we are w/o smog inspections in Austin, and I know that I wouldn't have passed smog. IF the engine lasts through next year I will be amazed. I would like to get 3 more camping trips + a few shows in before then including a last trip to the beach. (We went to the beach this past weekend - saw two other Vanagon Westies camping on the beach (we stayed in the RV lot). I know that if you get a new air filter, it helps to reduce the "richness" a bit - anyone know if a K&N filter is even better in that regard? Conrad |
