Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
I was poking around my old files and found this list of specifications
for Vanagons (mostly 2.1 liter). If I remeber correctly, most of this
information came from Mitchell and Alldata sources. But it should be
"mostly" correct.
Just thought I'd share with the list.
If the formatting is all screwed up in your mail reader, just shoot me
an email and I'll send the original file.
Cheers,
Jeff

PRESSURE TEST
-----------------------------------------------------------
With engine idling, minimum pressure should be 29 psi (2 kg/cmý).
Remove vacuum hose from fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure should
increase to 36 psi (2.5 kg/cmý). Turn engine off. After 10 minutes,
residual pressure should be 29-36 psi (2-2.5 kg/cmý).

filter. Clean oil pan in solvent. Dry pan with compressed air.
Install new filter. Tighten filter retaining screws to 27 INCH lbs. (3 N.m).
Install oil pan with new gasket. Tighten oil pan bolts to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m).
Install protection plate if it was removed. Tighten bolts to 18 ft.
lbs. (25 N.m). Add 3.2 qts. (3.0L) transmission fluid. Check fluid
level. Add if necessary.
