1:00.............that "La Cucaracha/How Dry I Am" chime & that BEAUTIFUL thrum of that 2.1-litter flat-4 at 0:19 are PRECISELY what make me miss my 1991 Vanagon Carat so much.
That engine lid isn't going to melt and put out a fire, it's going to burn. Get a Blaze Cut for the inside of that lid, then you'll have some fire protection. Nice looking Bus!!
Thank you for mentioning that. I recall reading the plastic lids ability to put out an engine fire from a comment someone made in another video. I'll be more careful in future about spreading false information like that. Much appreciated for commenting and pointing that out. I always welcome feedback on stuff I say that doesn't sound right. I'm in no way perfect, lol.
I carry 3 fire extinguishers and have one of those in my wish list. An once of prevention is worth a pound cure, read as $200 of blaze cut will save our 2000(?) pound Volkswagens 😂 STOC
Noice! The first VW I owned was a Red 1990 VW Carat I bought from a dealer in Portland, Oregon. I brought it to the east coast in 2000 and had to sell it after the head gasket started leaking...I couldn't afford the time or $ to fix it then :(. I am however overjoyed with what the universe replaced it with :) nice dub! Glad to see someone enjoying theirs as much as I do mine 😄 STOC
I enjoyed my Carat soo much! U-Haul put on a trailer hitch and additional trans cooler, but when they went to connect the cooler they attached it to the air conditioner condenser instead of the radiator...I learned a lot about the AC system 😅

There are indeed a lot of things that can go awry when working on a Vanangon and not having a Bentley manual to refer to.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
