Hi again Vanagoners!!
Seems like my row of Q�s are endless when it comes to solving my
stuttering Vanagon problems, but this time they are of a little
different caracter!
As you all pointed out there is just to buy a little capacitor and
solder it to the wires going into the Air Flow Meter , and so far it
sounds just like a piece of cake.
So I check my Manual - Brookland Books, not the Bentley wich is not
available in Sweden - and find the veirdest viring diagram i�ve ever
seen, so I need to consult you �bout this:
The cap is to be solderd to #2 & #4 wire.
Is this counted from left, right (with the empty space not counted ) or
as my twisted manual states: the connectors in order 4,1,2,3 wich means
that I sould cut into the brown/white and the blue/red wires ??
A little language confusion question too, the little capacitor is to be
25V, 22ufd and that�s no problem but WHAT�S tantulum, I�ve looked
through both dictionarys and tech. handbooks and found nothing
translateable to swedish .
Is it a brand or just an expression for the work it does??
NOW for something compleatley different:
There was a question about the Hella 1000 Black Magic lights which looks
cool , works OK but are EXPENSIVE like everything of that brand!
In Sweden I�ll pay app. 150$ each for them.
Hella has a new light too, the "Luminator", more light, 200$ each.
Not to be forgotten the Luminator Xenon with the same kind of  bulb as
used in the timing lights wich pumps out an endless amount of bright
wite light , on headlight only though, the dimmed is the same old stock,
sold at 900$ EACH!!
Myself  I go with the domestic NBB brand,the round ones are almost as
bright as the Hella 1000 but at the low cost of 70$ a pair, with 55w
bulbs included !
They are available in square shape too, almost as bright, fit in the
Vanagon grille, same price!
Don�t know if you�re able to get them in the US, check their european
homepages .
