Why did you change the wire harness?
I changed out my wire harness to try and fix a bad wire issue that this did not resolve. I am still digging for the probable bad ground (I could see it on the ham radio I had, I I need to try that testing out again.)
Good luck on your voyage to the perfect van. I have had an ‘84 Westy since Covid started(great timing, meh). I bought it from a restorer in California so it’s painted and much of the low hanging fruit were done. Now it’s in the shop at Rocky Mountain Westys for a Subaru swap. Looking forward to this Winter.
How's your engine swap working out ? I really hear good things about RMWs work.
@@notvanpron4115 Thanks for asking. It’s been there since April. talked to Bryant via email and he has some engine checking and the alignment. Monday he should be able to give me a date during the week when I can pick it up. I’ll leave here on Wednesday after a doctor’s appt. I’ll be there until it’s ready. I have a uhaul reserved for Thursday afternoon. Soon. 🙄
@@kimhorton6109 Awesome! I wish I had a a subie in my van, so much mountain climbing power. I am about to try and get out again and try some winter camping again after my strokes 2 years ago...
@@notvanpron4115 Strokes! Ouch. At 76 I prolly have been due for one for years. Glad you’re still getting along. Happy camping.
@@notvanpron4115picked up My Vanagon at the end of Nov. It runs great and I have about 750 miles on it now. 😢hey fixed a bunch of little stuff like LED headlights, power pack that will charge the house battery when docked with electricity, they went thru the lights so all my brake, running, turn and backup lights work. This climbs the gentle hills we have in the Ozarks without straining at all. Waiting for better weather to get out for several days.
Enjoyed the video and your modifications
Thanks!
I’ve had my van for 3 yrs now just recently it started having alot of issues. Not sure it’s worth pouring more money into it. Thinking I’d rather have a ford transit new or like a year old to camp in something that is reliable I know I can go far. I just do local trips in my vanagon because I’m not a mechanic. I love my vanagon westfalia but the maintenance and parts are getting expensive. Maybe I’ll just go back to camping in a tent sell the van.
Uggg I can't imagine camping in a tent again. I am pretty good at getting me and my van into events so I can be a photog, but wouldn't do them if I was tenting. But all that said, I do feel the van getting long in the tooth, but it's so easy to fix...
Burr looks cold there but looks nice. A good place to chill in your rig by the water. Enjoy. ✌️
Ya this was a great place to chill, plus there was a cool little pond to walk around.
Hi where I can find the wire harneh
See the link in the description of this video :)
Like the reflective tape and the pads u added to decrease noise. I should remove my panels and do the same and add some insulation. These vans are cold in the winter. I keep a down sleeping bag in my set up. Also recently purchased the thermal window coverings from go westy and the truck mirrors from-bus depot. I love my weekender VW. I’m just not a mechanic so I don’t venture to far away. Thx for the video u gave me some ideas and I learned some stuff.
Can I still buy Marcos injectors? anyone have a link? thanks
Get them here: mansispeed.com/
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Any idea where I could get these injectors now? His ad on the samba is gone.
He has a website now, mansispeed.com
@@notvanpron4115 amazing thank you! Turnkey turbo kits waaaaa?
@@clevelandmotley Ya I follow some of his amazing posts on fb
@@notvanpron4115 what the handle on facebook?
Nice westy!!! Reflective tape genius.
Thanks, I have found it super handy, especially when I have broken down on the highway.
Where did you get the battery charge monitor/ USB ports?
I think Amazon, I got them specifically because they do QC3. It's about time for another upgrade probably USB PD (devices) and just USB power (for GpPros).
Keep it going glad to see bus community out there!
Thanks!
I must have looked at this just after my 87 arrived, the guy who sold it to me, said comeback next weekend, you can pull the harness from another 2.1 so I did. Ken at Vanagain did a nice job, it might be worth it just to buy his vs reinstalling the used one which was cut !! and reconnected, it look like they cut the harness on the donor bus and reconnected ALL those wires - since it was 87, the ecu was behind the "firewall", under the rear seat area. Thanks for posting.
Oh man a cut ECU cable that is the worst. I have huge hole in my firewall cuz mine is also an 84 van with the 2.1, you gotta make room to get the connector through the firewall.
How do you know when to replace your injectors ? test them for spray pattern ? Vanagon sitting for 10 years ??
Yes and yes. You can get them tested. I just new I had old injectors and it was time. If you have OEM injectors it is work it to get a set of mansi injectors or just replace them.
Cool trip
Thanks! It was fun and cold, not just cool... ;)
Were did you get the fuel rail
It was made by my machinist/welder friend. Going to have to upgrade/fix it in the long rung as it is too stiff.
I replaced all my interior lights with LED but I like all the extras you did.
Going to LEDs is so great. You can put them anywhere and they use almost no power.
What else can I say besides SUPER.
Glad you enjoyed, I am going to do a new one here in a few months once I get some more upgrades installed.
hello that wiring works for a 1991 vanagon
Yes, I believe it should work for any of the 2.1 engines.
I’m putting mine that’s exactly yours back together now
I hope your van is up and running. Much love... happy trails!
Nice tour and some good ideas here...many just click on the state, but you were hitting every county, cool.
Washington has so many cool things to see. I have been known to say that this is just like Washington just more epic when I travel lol. So that sticker is me putting my money where my mouth per say.
ICU is right ! I hate where they put the battery and I use a peice of cardboard too...I'm replacing mine due to fire...hope my camera doesn't fall over... always fun to take the westy to breakfast
LOL I had my camera fall over a few weeks ago when I was out taking night photos of the van... crash goes my Canon SLR on the ground...
Did the river front sites seem level and big enough for a truck and trailer?
When I was there there were people in pull through spots. And the full summer campground defiantly has them.
Nice van!!! Looks like you have the westy sink rust. The rust is coming from the refrigerator/sink/ water inlet. Might want to pull your stove unit out and check it out. Can be a big job if it starts to rot out structural. More vids please!!!!
Yes, I do have a plan at some point to pull all that stuff and redo that side of the van.
hi sir are you satisfied from afm ? I think you bought it from China
No this afm is junk, I want back to the old stock one I had. Lasted about 6-12mo before it went flacky.
Where is the bathroom? Where to poop or pee or take a bath??
Dont need one. Its camping with a hard shell.
U can just buy a makeshift toilet for emergency purposes at Walmart it had 3 legs and toilet seat place a bag under the seat. I use it to pee in my VW weekender at night so I don’t haft to get out in the dark. I don’t live in my van nor does this fella so we don’t find it necessary to have a shower or toilet. U could also store a thetford marine toilet but I choose not to. My lil plastic toilet foldable ez to store from Walmart does the job.
Thanks for sharing! I just bought these from Marco and will be installing next week.
I hope they are treating you well.
Wow
I am glad you enjoyed.
Thanks for the upload! Did you ever solve the high idle? If so, how?
Nope, I am still struggling with it. I still have the ICU valve pulled and I think I have a bad ground somewhere but I can find it.
What LED bulb did you use for the dome?
I used some generics off amazon... Not avab but here is the link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079L2X1Z1/
nice!
Thanks!
My dad owns the exact same Westie ‘82 like yours. Haven’t brought it out in years but your videos are making me want to camp in it so bad lol
Get that Westie back out on the road. Replace the fuel lines first. If he doesn't want to use/drive it get it sold. They are worth more in these weird times.
I'd love to see your new fuel line setup
It is very sexy LOOKING but not real practical as it doesnt have proper releave fittings in it. (too much hard line). I am going to go back to something closer to stock when I swap the engine.
That rug really ties the van together.
Thanks, it also keeps my stuff from going everywhere :)
Nice to meet another t3 ..will you make something for rust outside later ?? Lets save the t3 👍👍👍
That's the plan!
do you have to add any other parts to add different light bulbs.
Sometimes you may have to add a resistor for turn signals to blink at a normal speed, I think interior led lights can be to dim without one as well. Could be out dated knowledge though, bulbs may have that stuff integrated nowadays.
The kit I installed came with a different blinker relay to fix the speed of the blinkers, that is the only change needed for LED lights.
That whole getting stuck thing really sucks. I've been there a few times. Now I always carry a good shovel, 2 long heavy ropes, and a couple pulleys. One day I plan on getting a winch. I travel a lot on back roads.
Ya it was totally no fun. I now have a big ratchet strap. But I need some proper recovery gear.
Chains on a van will take you almost anywhere.
Yep, and I just upgraded to BFG Ko2 205's and upgraded the chains for them :)
Nice edit 👍😃
Thank you very much... Trying to get better at it :)
Good video man, love seeing the dispersed places. Definitely somewhere I think we would like to go ! Subscribed !!
Thanks for the sub! I cant wait to get back out to some of them again.
God love the Washington vanlife vlogs.
Thanks man!
Great spot to park!
Thanks man. It was a really sweet spot. The tent camping part of the spot had washed away. Which gave my van a great riverside spot. :)
GRIDLESS LIFE looks like rad spot for sure!
I suggest camping out there during the summer. It is much busier out there, but it's awesome seeing all the personal planes landing for lunch.
Ya I would like to see the planes coming in. I have only been out there in the off season.
Come summer time I'll show you around up there if you'd like. I know a few waterfalls and a some alpine lakes.
Wasnt able to watch the whole video on lunch break. 2 questions First: where are your headlights from and Question B: how does your friend like his in bed tent?
Headlights came from amazon, they are no longer sold but I have seen other brands just like them. He loves his bed tent (wagon canvas lol) but the setup time is quite high. 30+ min for one guy with a short step ladder. He is now looking at vanagons after this WetWestie camp out :D
@@notvanpron4115 oh no, did he get the VW disease? 😝
@@therealmaverickx No, nothing yet, but everybody wants into the cool kids club. :D
So...what are your thoughts on performance?
Honestly, It does run smoother but I have other electrical (ground) problems that it is covering much of the improvements. I should have some time this weekend to work on my ground issues.
I just did all my grounds. Somehow get a dremel on a cable. Use a cone shaped wire brush and get to all your connections. Take them apart one at a time, wire brush connectors and mounting location. Cover connectors and everything with die electric grease and re install. I clean the screw too. One large ground on left of engine, one under front of transmission, and a few under the drivers dash.
Any further thoughts on performance or fuel economy?
@@nuggethikes Electric grease is NOT conductive. Smearing it on the parts before assembly is not the right way to use it. First you reassemble your parts, then you protect the assembly with the die electric grease
thank you!!
You're welcome!
the good ol' 1 wheel peel haha. that was funny man. glad a truck came and saved the day. The river was intense!!
I was really only going one way, and that was down.
@@notvanpron4115 the mud will get you every time
Nice vid!! Gowesty has the bumper end covers for like 10 bucks, seen you were missing one. I wish there was a westy group like that in Kentucky! Looks like you guys had a good time.
Ya I have had a set of the bumper covers for years... I have just been too lazy to put them on, esp after I got hit and bent the the rear bumper. Thanks for the reminder :)
@@notvanpron4115 What video editor are you using?
