Subject:      Vanagon Fresh Air System (A survey)

>To: vanagonlist >From: dbax@mindspring.com (Donald Baxter) >Subject: Vanagon Fresh Air System (A survey) > >I too have to shut off my fresh air system manually, stuffing several pounds of foam rubber down the throat of the intake behind the radiator grill. Here in North Georgia, I do this in the summer--it's impossible to air condition the van without doing this--Metropolitan Atlanta is full of hot air, ambient and otherwise. > >I have thought many times that I might remove the dash, take apart the air plenum and see if this is "fixable." At the same time, I could either fix, oil, clean, or replace the fresh air fan (it squeaks), and I could also find the leads for the rear speakers, the leads for the left rear being hopelessly lost in the quagmire of the underdash world. > >But mostly I would like to find out if it really IS possible to shut off the air flow completely. I've never received a satisfactory answer over this list to this question. > >Do ALL Vanagons have this problem. I'm taking a little survey, with the results to be published next week. E-mail me directly, responding to this query. > >YES if you cannot shut off air flow > >NO if you can shut off air flow > >If the yesses, outnumber the nos, I'll assume it's not fixable and save myself the trouble of splitting this chamber. > > > > ________________________________________ Donald Baxter 405 Sixth Street, N.E.
