Can anyone recommend any upgrades/ tune ups to the air cooled 83 Vanagon which noticeably improves performance/ engine function and is not too complicated to install/ i can do myself (plus doesn't break the bank).
Thanks H |

Looks like you are in the UK. Are you running the original Solex dual carburetors or is this a fuel injected model?

Nothing will make a noticeable difference in performance unless it's running really poorly. Check the plugs, boots, cap, fuel lines, injectors and o-rings, and Vacuum lines. Take the throttle body off, clean and, inspect
