Check the library section of type2.com. Sean Bartnick has written up the procedure for an 80-83 air cooled vanagon. While there are certainly differences between the air and water cooled version, I think the principle is the same. Good luck, Jake 82 air cooled Westy -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of Geza Polony Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 1:28 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Heater cable repair The heater controls in my '84 Westy don't work so good. The one controlling the heat exchanger is stuck on due to a bend in the wire near the lever, and the top one, whatever it's supposed to do, doesn't do anything. How much of a PITA is it to replace these or take them out and lubricate them? Do you have to pull the fascia/ dash? Is there some way to get the black plastic knobs off the control levers and then get the cover plate off? Other suggestions? Thanks for any advice, Geza |
