Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner! It appears that after, 6 months or so of intermittent sputtering, cutting out (especially at 2800 rpm), hesitation and the general psychological torture of my boyfriend and myself, (what to speak of 6 trips to 3 different vw mechanics), we appear to have found the culprit. I am bolding stepping up to say (I think) we have it fixed! It was the air box. We replaced my old air box with a used one, and my westy is running beautifully....not only not cutting out, but she responds better every time I step on the gas...Feels like a new van. It's a miracle. Hallelujah. Kristin 84 Wolfsburg GL Westy~Wolfy 90 Subaru Legacy LS SW AWD~Althea |
