Uh, no. There aren't.


However, I'll be a nice guy and give you $50 for yours. ;-)


Seriously, I've put 375K on mine, but I have had to learn to be a mechanic
(of sorts) along the way.

I'm wondering for how many of you your Vanagon is your main means
of transportation, and you drive it 20,000+ miles per year.  In
the 2.5 years I've had my 91 Westy, I've had to put an awful lot
of money into repairs, and am beginning to wonder if this vehicle
just isn't suited for continual use and frequent long trips.  I
take pretty good care of my VW, but it is currently in the shop
with a broken crankshaft on a engine that was rebuilt only 30k
miles ago.


Are there Vanagon owners out there who log a lot of miles and don't
have many problems?
