Hi! Long trem Vanagon owner here-30 years. Very good technique for solving that issue. I can relate-I had the same issue with my 2.5 that I ran in my Westy for 11 years. It had good compression but used a qt every 1k to 1.5k mi. I now believe it is just an issue with that particular engine. Mine was a 2009. Apparently, they all used some oil. I switched to an EG33 (6 cyl, for those that don't know) several years ago, and it uses no oil-amazing!

Great vid. I just put a peloquin in my 2WD Auto 91 vanagon and playing in the snow this year made a huge difference. Also went back country this summer. Went to places I would have normally got stuck. Highly reccomend

From what I've heard the peloquins works best when already in motion. Would you be able to try it in motion (say 4-5mph) on some slippery gravel and have a friend film? Thanks in advance if you do!👍

You're a legend, thanks for sharing

Not sure why you would want to jack on the engine mount--bad idea to start with. As a 30 year Vanagon owner, and retired master mechanic, you should only jack on the jacking points or the cross member in the back. Or you may get bending or flexing of the frame and body. Van was not designed for that. Just saying.

That was a perfect clip

Thanks for the great explanation. My son's 2006 Forester engine (with manual trans) did NOT have the guide installed, so I figured the engine was a replacement that had originally been installed with an automatic. We did install a guide on it, just to be sure. Your video explains the issue perfectly. He never had a problem, but it surely could have been.

that voodoo that sodo does so well

Love it!

What a fantastic idea to a frustrating problem.

Can you do a video on that lift for your lid?

Subaru started fitting the cam belt guides in MY98, on manual models only (at least, in European model Subaru's). They changed the design of the oil pump at the same time (for manual and auto models), adding the two bosses that the cam belt guide screws in to. So to fit a cam belt guide to an earlier engine, you'd need to fit the later oil pump. But to fit one to an MT88 or later engine from an auto when being sued in a manual application, you just screw the guide on to the existing pump. Be super careful if taking the crank position sensor out to check for the presence of a cam belt guide. The stainless steel sensors are very probe to corroding the surrounding aluminium, trapping them in the bore. When the screw is removed, the top of the sensor often moves a little bit, encouraging you that it's loose, so just needs prying a little. When the stainless sensor housing is trapped in the casting by corrosion, this movement is not the sensor moving in the casting, but the plastic senser internals moving in the stainless casing. Prying at it, even lightly, can break the top off an otherwise good sensor.

Looking to see where you got fittings

Great Video!. I recently had a peloquin installed in my 2WD. Makes such a difference from my 1WD😂

Great video man thank you for the info!

*Promo sm* 😊

Well I a lot wiser now!

The only helpful video I've found about what happened to my engine!!!! Thank you! How do I rectify tho?

I have the same saw 028 it’s is get to much gas in the carburetor you need to clean it or get a new carburetor for $17

100A, that's not bad at all.

Replaced my timing belt today on a 2012 STI hatch and was wondering what the guides were for. It had them over the crank as well as over the right exhaust cam pulley and left intake cam pulley. I used a thin piece of cardboard to set the gap between belt and guides. Is there a special tool for adjusting the gap?

What do you think about the condition of the cylinders? ;) Thanks for taking us through this!

But is it down and back or down and forward? What the heck man

Smart

Cheers very informative. Just wondering where you got the gearbox fittings

Looking forward to meeting you at syncrofest and seeing your trans cooling presentation

Cool. More content like this from the vanagoon .

Great informative video!!

great info,,,parts link ??

Nice, will try the same

Simple things are sometimes the best 👍

That’s a great idea. We’ll done 👍

Well done!

Wbu in a plastic gas tank

So did you find the problem I’m having the same issue

you have lockers and peloquin ? how is the normal road driving with the peloquin in the front ? I have standard rear locker, and was thinking to put a Peloquin inthe front. Any suggestions ?

Nice diy tool 😂

nice tip. great clear shots and you delivered a lot of info in a short amount of time. 👌

Thank you!!! I just bought my peloquin to upgrade my 1wd 😂

Thanks mate, I always knew some clever engineer will sort this problem. I run a vw AFN engine on my syncro gearbox and everybody told my the torque will eat the 4th gear up. Now, that is solved! Thanks again

At this point I think it would be easier to remove the carpet and clean it like a rug. Then blow & wipe the interior autobody directly.

Works a treat!

Two new struts 17€🙈

Very informative, thank you!

I looked at the samba post for information and I’m currently setting up a similar system with the bmw cooler and pump. And now I stumbled upon your video. Confirming my thought on a easy “clean” Setup without extensive modifications on the gearbox. Thanks a lot 🤩

In the back of my mind I tell myself there is lube on the tool threads 😂

How you reemplace the glass? I broke this glass of my grinder. Can You teach me to fix? Thanks!!!

clean carburetor ultrasonic $60 bucks and every year throw in and clean before and after season

I have zero skills on this, not any type of mechanic, but I’m gonna say it’s some type of blown gasket or seal
