Set off for the coast on Sunday morning and just before I joined the motorway I observed my temp guage needle go from sitting on the LED down to stone cold...
I just broke up a UK 9 seat Caravelle CL with a passenger two seat bench up front. Mounts on the seat runners same as the single seat but the top has to be...
... This I think is true. ... I never said that. I said (Msg.-ID 3EFF4B5B.6030305@...) that _at_1_krpm_ the VC doesn't transfer much torque. Evidence...
That's strange!!! In message nr:16976 i read the following ***** The problem wih going _too_ slow with a syncro is that the VC won't do much work below 3 krpm....
... The VC operation is independent of engine RPM. In my experience it works very well at detecting rotational difference between the front and rear axles. It...

Here is my parts list ('89 Syncro Westy): (This is from an old post of mine to Gerry; prices are about two year ago from Bus Depot) 251 407 077 Upper control...
Hi, I spent too much $ having the passenger side UCABs done last summer (lots of $ and the syncro was returned totally out of alignment and still kind of...
on a syncro, the UCAB's are pressed in and out. not sure the deal on a 2wd though. so you remove the upper ball joint (it is a bolt-on item) and then you...
Hi, From what I heave heard and read, they put the turbo and fuelpump from the 1.6 TD on the 1.9 and of course the special van items such as oilpan, oilpump,...
Looking for the "regulator" for a power window for my syncro. The moter works fine but the cable doesn't retract into the spindle. Anyone parting out a syncro...
I run 38 front and 40 rear with my E code tires. I checked with BFG to make sure they thought that would be OK, since the tires go up to 80 psi or something...

... Sure you can. You don't need much torque for driving on a parking lot. With a diesel engine you don't even have to touch the gas pedal. It would be...
I agree Ralf. My Syncros hardly ever get stuck on paved level surfaces. Of course my 2wd Vanagons don't either. The shortcomings I experience with the VC...

I have to agree with you mark, at least on my Syncro anyhow. The drive to the North Arm of Quesnel Lake this past weekend was really great - 10km of track...
