When a cable rusts in its tube, snaps, or comes loose at the flap, one side stops opening and the van stays cold, or a flap stays open all year. Air-cooled Vanagon parts are only made for three or four model years, so they are getting harder to find than Bus or Wasserboxer parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your Vanagon is an air-cooled 2.0 model and that this is the right-side cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote the routing and the clamp position at the flap lever before removing the old cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly grease the cable and feed it through the existing guide tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith the dash lever closed, clamp the cable so the heat exchanger flap is fully closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the flap opens fully when the lever is moved, and that the left side works the same.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the JP-8346-0 fit my 1981 air-cooled Vanagon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
