Ken, what is your best advice to those of us who own =
the older
Vanagons (e.g., 1984)? If I have to replace the elbow between the =
throttle
and the AFM anyway, it sounds like best plan would be to buy and
use 2.1 AFM and 2.1 elbow. I am not sure what you mean that =
other
hoses would get squeezed in the process (maybe I am missing hoses that I =
should
have).

help?
It actually =
will work
(I tested this theory a couple of years ago). However
the =
2.1l
Airbox won't fit because of the hoses in the engine compartment (it =
kinda
squishes up against them and I was not comfortable running this way). =
I then adapted the 1.9l airbox, but this is not as easy it is =
seems.
I had
to cut that plastic housing and then fabricate my own =
gasket
out of gasket
material. You also have to replace your 1.9l =
Intake
Air hose (that accordian
looking hose between the AFM and the =
throttle
body) with the 2.1l hose since
the AFM outlet is bigger for the =
2.1l.
It worked very well when I was done
however and I have these =
Air
Flow Meters (2.1l) for $120 new (not rebuilt- no
core). The =
rebuilt
AFMs are a crap shoot from my experience and from what
customers =
have
experienced. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they are =
just as
messed up as the AFMs you took out (temp I is still bad, etc). =
Hope
this helps.
Thanks,
