|
|
I have a go westy ems in a 90’ westy and it is threatening to stall , hesitation , with progressively troublesome starting problems . Checking with my local shop , they tell me they are in contact with go westy and cannot locate the problem on another customer’s westy and that it seems to be exclusive to automatics. Otherwise no other problems with it. Any one else experiencing this problem? Sugestions on a fix? |

Not sure where this belongs, my whine would be I could never afford it
Hard to say if it belongs in the good deal thread since there is no price, very cool that the $$ goes to charity. There was a thread on this truck ? Something about being ordered by a company in Canada, and by the time it got there, the company had folded ?? WAAAAAAAAAY cool Doka !!! _________________ Tom

With that mileage, in that condition, I was thinking six figures but I will scale my guess back to $80k. _________________ Now: 2003 New Beetle Turbo S / 1990 Single Cab Transporter / 2014 Tiguan R-Line 4motion / 2013 Tiguan S / 2002 Golf GLS TDI

My guess is it goes for $55-70k. Beautiful piece of history. I hope VW or comedian, Gabriel (Fluffy) Iglesia's buy it for a VW museum/preservation. A better investment than a new Ford Raptor

If I could I'd post every syncro for sale currently in the classifieds in this thread... the same like 15 have been for sale for the past 6-7mo and I check daily since I'm in the market for one now. Prices since March 2020 have nearly doubled. |

This is a very nice for sure.... But what is up with the bed? Should the bed be body color or is this a Tri-Star thing? And Why a rebuilt motor with that Mileage? I'm not shitting on this DOKA , It is definitely one of the nicest examples with a very interesting history.... _________________

I would think that the stupid rubber water gaskets on the heads would have perished by now. Nobodies gaskets lasted for any where near thirty years!!! _________________ '84 Vanagon GL 1.9 WBX
