I want to convert it to a syncro Westfalia! Syncro's are so different from regular VW Vanagons that VW decided to contract out the construction, and they were built by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Austria at the same factory where they build the Mercedes Gelandewagen SUV.o, but repairs can be, particularly if you are comparing costs to a 2WD Vanagon. Syncro specific parts are very expensive, especially if you walk into your local VW dealer to order them (for sure, they won't be in stock).
The spark associated with static electricity is caused by electrostatic discharge, or simply static discharge, as excess charge is neutralized by a flow of charges from or to the surroundings.
1. Electric charge that accumulates on an object rather than flowing through it as a current. Static electricity forms especially when two objects that are not good electrical conductors are rubbed together, so that electrons from one of the objects rub off onto the other. This happens, for example, when combing one's hair or taking off a sweater. See Note at charge. 2.
