Hi .. the continuing saga of my vanagon with low power - 45MPH max...In removing the injectors once again I discovered a small blob of metal in #1 cylinder pre-chamber, cambelt end of engine, it was the tip of a glow plug - I replaced them all 30-40 miles ago - they had all burnt out! - I guess in hindsight I should of been more wary. But...anyone got any insight as to why the one would burn out - Is it a pump timing thing? Would that help explain low power? I'm going to check timing this weekend! Steve
