	Volkswagen Type 2 (T3) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The T3 generation of the Volkswagen Type 2, also known as the Vanagon in the U.S., as the Transporter or Caravelle in Europe, and also to some in Britain and Ireland as the T25, was built from 1980 until 1991.
		Compared to its predecessor, the Microbus, the Vanagon was larger and heavier, with square corners replacing the rounded edges of the older models.
		The Vanagon was built to be the modern successor to the Microbus.

		The Vanagon refrigerator, when operated on LP Gas, develops a little flame you are supposed to be able to see in the sight glass in the far inside left rear of the refrigerator.
		Vanagon owners should take all measures to fix their refrigerator if it is blowing out on the road.
		One reason for the Vanagon refrigerator's orphan status within Dometic may be due to the fact it is manufactured in Luxembourg, of all places, and is considered an oddball item not made in the USA.

	Vanagon Intermittent Syndrome by Harald
		Sometimes this might not happen again for a long time, or if you are not so lucky, the vanagon might start this syndrome all over again after only a few minutes of driving.
		There can be many possible causes for temperamental vanagon behavior: corroded grounds, defective wiring harness, worn air flow meter, vacuum leak, bad spark plug wires, loose contact by the fuel pump, bad fuel pump relay, defective ECU.
		Some vanagon owners installed the capacitor under the rubber boot that protects the plug on the AFM.

	VW Diesel Vanagon: Turbo Installation
		For the vanagon the factory solution was a different boost enrichment actuator than on the Quantum or Jetta models.
		I have been running mine for about two years with the vanagon inj pump, and the fuel delivery tweaked up a little to take advantage of the boost, but I have been thinking about finding a Td injection pump to get better fuel delivery control.
		Since the vanagon diesel air filter won't work, you may be able to mount the Quantum air filter housing in place of the air intake elbow that leads up to the air vent on the driver's side of the car.

	V6 Vanagon page 1
		The transmission was salvaged from an old Vanagon that was totaled in a fuel fire, so I have to assume that it was cooked in that fire, and I just managed to get a few thousand more miles out of it.
		As a result, I have a motor that cruises too fast and doesn't run efficiently, and a transmission that is causing the problem and is apparently too weak to last long anyway, considering the higher torque of the GM motor.
		You can imagine their disappointment to see an old Vanagon pull out of a driveway in front of them, only to have the old van pull away and become a dot on the horizon.

		At 135hp and installed in a Vanagon, they provide a very welcome power increase over the anemic VW engine and after a few miles of driving a Vanagon with one of these motors, one begins to get a bit angry wondering why VW didn't do a better job on their engine design.
		The cost to install a Subaru four cylinder non-turbo in a Vanagon 2wd is $5975 plus the cost of the motor, which is generally between $1000 and $3500.
		Upon delivery of your Vanagon for the installation work, a 50% deposit is required with the balance due upon completion of the work.

	Porsche-powered Vanagon
		This project, now sold but fondly remembered, was a 1981 Vanagon L, with a 3.0-liter Porsche 911 six-cylinder engine, rated at 180hp.
		The van was a daily driver, and a great example of a fun and relatively easy conversion.
		Body-work modifications were limited to a cutout behind the right rear wheel, for the oil tank needed for the engine's dry-sump oil system.

	Vanagon Features
		When I bought the Vanagon, it already had almost 130,000 miles on it, yet it was in remarkably good condition (except for a dent just ahead of the left rear wheel well).
		To fit the powerplant in the Vanagon, new OEM diesel mounting bits-and-pieces were also included as were the diesel oil pan and oil pump pickup.
		I used 'suitcase' connectors to connect the second power wire to the first, to connect the 'key' wire to the fl/yellow wire on the AC switch, and to connect the ground wire from the changer harness to the radio ground.
