You're crazy.


I say this as someone who has had an '87 Westy since it was new, followed the VW
recommended maintenance schedule to the letter, bought quality replacement
parts, practised preventative maintenance...and still found me, my family and
the van at the side of the road more times than I deserved. Yes, I still have
the van but it's only on the road for two months of the year now...less repairs
that way.


Sorry to rain on everyone's parade but somewhere along the way, I lost my VW
issue rose-coloured glasses.
