Subject:      Syncro: Dyno smog test dangerous?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all,

I've received my new '89 Westy Syncro, and it's every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be...

I'm in the process of making it legal, and I noticed something in the manual that worries me a little...on page 73, in the "Vehicle Operation" section, it reads:

"Performance testing

If the Vanagon/Transporter Syncro requires testing on a dynamometer (engine output analysis and brake test) the transaxle drive shaft must be disconnected.

The differential lock must not be engaged."

Does anyone know whether the two-speed dyno emissions tests would also do whatever they're worried about in the paragraph above? I don't think Virginia has replaced all of the emissions stations with dynos yet, but they're planning on it, and I don't want to be surprised.

Thanks,

--Bob, KE4GDC 89 Westy Syncro
