He was correct and had the part required which was installed immediately. I needed a large resistor which was mounted behind the front grill to the left of the right headlight. Burkhard is a German Master Mechanic and we talked vanagons for over a hour. This guy knew his Volkswagen (and Vanagons to boot), He turned me on to an article in European Car mag about the Eurospec engine swap with a GTI for the Vanagon...one for the shop recommendation list for sure! Have to second Nat's recommendation, I have been relying on Burk for several years when I get something I cannot handle with my Syncro. He's a good man if you find yourself in need in northern AZ. john 87 Syncro GL BTW........I got unanimous concurrence on there being no problem with driving without the drive shaft (just stay out of the really *deep* mud). |
