I found the same thing, no listing. Fast German Auto http://fastgermanauto.com/ is selling them though. I purchased a set about 2 months ago. They fit fine, and the incredibly sensitive instrumentation in the seat of my pants tells me that they did bump the power a little and my mileage seems to be up a little. Later today I'll check if I can see a part number printed on the insulator and post it. I'm sure that this is a part number intended for other VW's that Fast German Auto has cross applied. Why Bosch doesn't list the Vanagon as an application I don't know. So far (@ 3,000 mi), I've seen no problems. Are they worth the extra money? Depends on what you seek. The tiny boost in performance is probably not worth it. I am expecting though that they will last much longer and assist in difficult conditions (real cold, real hot, real wet).

There is no listing in Bosch catalogs for a +4 spark plug in a Vanagon application. Does anyone know if one will fit and how they compare with other plugs? Are they worth the extra money?
