Is this the cause of my van not running that great?!

Would I be better off buying a new one and taking it to someone who can set it up rather than attempt it and took it up?!
How easy is it to replace...well more to set up I guess!?

Here ya go have a read thru this
http://www.vw-resource.com/carb.html#ports" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Most of the time carbs just have the wrong sized jets in em
Some of the after mkt carbs have poor casting and never run quite right.
It's all easy enough to do yourself.
If the right carb has the right jets you can set up the idle and mixture at home and it should run fine. A specialist rolling road will get the best out of it but shouldn't be necessary
Go for it - you just need to find the right carb for your engine

1600 single port - 30PICT/3
1600 dual port - 34PICT/3

Might be worth checking the jet sizes on what you've got?
