There aren't any van owners laughing at you.
You've been fortunate enough that you haven't had your engine spread out
all over the floor in your garage.
After a rebuild job or two a guy finds a lot of gizmos and oddities about
VW engines, be they Air Cooled, WaserBoxers or Diesel. They all have
oddities that make them German Engineered.
I haven't looked in my owners manual but I would almost bet its not
mentioned there.
