I'd say that there is virtually no repair to a Vanagon or a Westy that a woman can't do as well as a man once they learn the jargon and can identify parts and understand what they do or how they work. I don't praise Bentley publications but they are an absolute must for many of the electrical and mechanical specifications information required in Vanagon maintenance. Many women prefer to leave this kind of stuff to the guys but out of self defense of getting ripped off by service shops, women need a good general knowledge of the vehicles they are driving.

I know what you mean - I've only had my van for about a year now and I've learned a lot (its amazing what you can do if you have to). Still mountains of knowledge to go tho - but its nice to hear another GIRL who's working at it, too!

Peace, Marla '87 Westy Van "Morrison"
