Van has had the flu since last summer and only now tracking down the last of it*.
Took the van to the local Vanagon experts [ a 45 min drive from here] 3 weeks ago Garage reported *all fixed* and I picked up van. Van was running better[?] but they only managed/ bother to fix one of the problems by replacing a flaky idle stabilizer, adjusting timing and CO. $300+ So when i open up the engine compartment this week - I spot the *new* idle stabilizer which clearly older than the one broken one they pulled out! [ all rusty ]
Am I wrong to expect the garage to inform me that they put in a [ $130+] used part?
*Since then - I am managed to track down/ fix the AFM vanagon syndrome and and a TPS WAY out of adjustment... THANK YOU VANAGON ARCHIVES and van is getting better by the day. Tom Myers Syracuse NY
