Bill, get yourself a copy ot Bentley's ...that is the official Volkswagon
Vanagon maintenance manual. Not sure of sources on that one..maybe try The Bus
Depot or Ken Wilford. Also from The Bus Depot get a copy of the Haynes manual on
the vanagon.(about $20). The two manuals present material differently, but
really go hand in hand together.
Enjoy your machine!!
