Following up on the link that someone provide to the new Vanagon site in
Canada last night, I followed some of their links.  I found one that
caught my attention.  I don't know if this has been common knowledge to
the rest of you, but someone has scanned and then indexed in HTML what
is apparently the VW factory training manual for bringing technicians up
to speed for the 'new' model, plus a bunch of other Vanagon tech related
stuff.  It's a big ZIP, but I downloaded it and there seems to be a lot
of good info.  Considering the changes that were made in '86 and then
carried on to the end of the Vanagon production, and some of the other
info, it is probably well worth the time to download.  One item I found
that bugged me a little bit is a copy of the VW bulletin, sent by e-mail
in 1984, explaining the addition of the special wiring harness addition
to deal with 'Vanagon Sysndrome'!  If they had the fix in '84, why
wasn't it standard equipment from then on????

URL is http://www.whadup.com/index.asp?pageFrom=/stuff/Index.asp for the
download.

The new website looks well organized and with a lot of good links, both
to good personal web pages and vendors.
