I'm in the proccess of a test with K&N filters. There is
for some reason a relationship between this filter and your
Vanagon running hotter. Not much, but in my case this and other
thing are a problem. My test will be complete in about a week.
It simply makes my Syncro run hotter. I'm thinking it leans out
the fuel a bit. The next step is to run it without an air filter
and see what happens. All takes time. Somthing I don't have.
