A local yard has a Subaru Legacy FS with 130,000 KM, maybe 90,000 miles. Is this one too tired to use as a transplant? TIA Marshall Ruskin probably grade and

The Rabbit diesel is unusual, they are happy at high RPM, and would probably cruise at 70 on the level. The Subaru will cruise 70 up a pretty good grade with less interior noise, but more fuel

Ray, If I keep it to 55-60 mph i've gotten 26mpg on freeway. normal Calif. freeway speeds I get 22mpg some city mostly freeway, which is 2 better than the 1.9l that came out of it. (We put about 30k

Greetings. I am a new subscriber to these Vanagon lists and find them interesting and helpful. Since '93 I and my wife have been the happy owners of an '86 GL Syncro, now with 175K

My advice would be: If you never drive in deep water, the snorkel sure sounds like it's more trouble than its worth. I wish I had a Syncro Westy, and if I did, I would then wish I actually went

The Vanagon filter and intake is so restrictive that I decided it was better to use the Subaru intake duct with our filter. Some customers have used the Subaru filter box but it is not an intake

I got a copy from a garage that has an on-line service for downloading wiring diagrams. I went to a local (small) Subaru dealer first to try to get a copy out of a shop manual. They had just about

Ed and I used mine which was printed out from a Mitchell Repair Computer CD-ROM at my local garage. We typed in the type of car, the year and model and then asked for the wiring schematic. Boom!

This is an interesting question. I've heard you have to wind those motors out and the van becomes less 'driveable'. This is due to the extra weight of the van, and not enough low-end torque. It's

Hello folks, I'm glad to find this resource available. As my title indicates, I am "on the fence" on whether to convert or not convert. Most knowledgable folks that I've spoken to here in CT
