Fix or Prevent Vanagon Syndrome and/or smooth out your Idle by making a donation.

I have a number of 16V 22uF Tantalum capacitors which are used to fix or prevent Vanagon syndrome and/or smooth out idle issues which appear in various degrees in the early through late Vanagons.

Search “vanagon syndrome” for a large number of topics on this or here is a good summary - http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3...highlight=
More detail here - http://www.members.shaw.ca/bilbo/WBafm.html

I’ll mail one of these Tantalum capacitors to you, all I ask is that you make a $5 or greater donation to either –

The USA Hang Gliding Team – They’re off to the biennial World championships wich run 7/16-30/11 - http://www.cucco2011.org/ . Wish them luck. Reporting will happen here – http://ozreport.com/

Home page - http://www.flytec.com/worldteam/index.html
Info page - http://www.flytec.com/worldteam/theteam.html
Donate - http://www.ushgteam.com/support.html

OR

The Cloudbase Foundation – a foundation that supports underprivileged children in the US and abroad. The foundation is run and mostly funded by hang glider and paraglider pilots.

Home page – http://thecloudbasefoundation.org/
Info page - http://thecloudbasefoundation.org/aboutus.html
Donate - http://thecbf.net/Donate.asp


After you make your donation email or PM me your mailing address and I’ll get the capacitor out to you.

The links in the first post is what I have. Seems like the shaw link of dear. The other samba one looks like it could go somewhere. I'm not subi powered so though I still have these electronics I haven't followed the syndrome. I would suggest the helpful samba community. Sorry I can't be more help.
