Will the GoWesty Ground Tree Kit fit my Vanagon?

Yes, the Ground Tree Kit is designed to fit all Volkswagen Vanagon models from 1980 to 1991. If you have a Vanagon within these model years, this replacement ground tree will work perfectly in your vehicle.

What common Vanagon problems does this kit help fix?

Over time, the original ground tree in your Vanagon can corrode, causing all sorts of mysterious electrical problems—like erratic dash lights, intermittent fan operation, or other dash electronics acting up. Installing the GoWesty Ground Tree Kit provides a clean, solid ground, often solving these electrical ‘gremlins’ in one simple step.

How hard is it to install the Ground Tree Kit?

Most Vanagon owners find installation to be a straightforward, basic DIY project. The kit comes with a replacement ground tree (with easy-to-bend tabs), a mounting screw, washer, and simple instructions. You just locate the old corroded ground tree above and to the left of your fuse and relay box, remove it, and mount the new one in its place.

Is the Ground Tree Kit good value for money?

Absolutely—many Vanagon owners mention it’s an ‘easy fix’ that saves hours of tracking down electrical issues. By removing sources of corrosion and ensuring a reliable ground for your dash electronics and radiator fan, this kit can restore proper function and prevent future headaches, making it well worth the investment.

Do I need any special tools to install the GoWesty Ground Tree Kit?

No special tools are needed. The kit includes the mounting hardware, and you’ll just need basic hand tools—like a screwdriver—to complete installation. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions are also included to guide you through the swap.

Le jeu de masse de votre Vanagon assure la mise à la masse de la plupart des composants électroniques du tableau de bord, ainsi que du ventilateur du radiateur. Il est situé au-dessus et à gauche du boîtier de fusibles et de relais. Après plus de 20 ans de service, la plupart des jeux de masse d’origine sont corrodés, ce qui peut provoquer de graves dysfonctionnements électriques. C’est pourquoi nous avons conçu ce jeu de masse de remplacement à faible coût.

Votre jeu de masse GoWesty sera livré à plat (voir les photos). Les languettes se plient facilement à 90 degrés à la main (ou, si vous venez tout juste de payer une petite fortune pour votre manucure-pédicure, vous pouvez utiliser une pince).

Le kit comprend : Instructions simples incluses. Vis et rondelle dentelée pour le montage.

Vendu à l’unité.
