I found this melted spot where the front blower resistor seats...

I'm wondering if this is due to the old hard to operate blower motor or this just means that it the resistor is toasted and needs replacement Rolling Eyes

The resistor normally gets very hot but some airflow from the fan limits how hot. Once the fan motor starts to die the extra heat can melt the plastic. Some people make the mistake of leaving the fan turned on even when the motor has frozen and then the resistor can slowly burn up, sometimes also making a hole in the plastic.

The photo is not very clear but the resistor looks ok still as best I can see. Just test it with the new motor.

Got the BMW brake booster upgrade done.

Thanks to Herman this upgrade is very strait forward! that shows the difference in diamter. 9" for the Vanagon and 10" for the BMW.

Cut 1/4" thread from new brake booster, Drill (8.5mm) and tap the vanagon clevis to 10mm 1.5

the adjustment of the clevis needs to be done well as 1mm equal 5mm travel at the pedal. So 2 turns of the clevis could change your pedal travel about 15mm too high or too low Crying or Very sad

.... anyway just make sure you have your pedal sitting where you want Wink

that was a fun upgrade Very Happy

I measured the mating face to the clevis pin before removing from the VW one,that was perfect the first time,since I did it on the car Wink

Good work Greg Cool

Hi Volks!

I'd like to have some input from the community.

I'm installing the Webasto diesel space heater and I would like to fit it in the front... I'd like to hook it up to the air diffusion system so it will spread in the van uniformly.

The >86 and <86 use different vent holes for the front heater unit...
Do you think it's possible/would it make sense that one of the unused hole of my 86 front heater could be perforated to use the Webasto inlet to spread the air in the cabin....

Feel free to share your idea! Thanks

up to 86 oval is plugged but the round is open

86+ use the oval vent instead of the round

Hey Greg:

That approach will work, but only if you plug the fresh air inlet at the front of the van (the portion covered by the plastic mesh) so that your Webasto hot air is not lost to the exterior or diluted with cold outside air. I am doing something similar with a DIY air conditioning system with the evaporator mounted in the area behind the glove box and feeding into the vanagon air box, which is why I have had to give this some thought.

I am considering making flaps right at the front of the exterior air intake rather than in the air box since the exterior approach will, I anticipate, also quiet wind noise when the flap(s) is/are closed.

As stated previously, your idea is a good one, but the warmed air will be mixed with cold external air and you will use much more fuel to have an effect. Venting directly to the cabin and adding a few new vent lines is how I have done it for heat and AC.
