Chris,

Please don't drop the F-bomb on the Vanagon list. It's uncalled for and won't be tolerated.

Thanks from your Vanagon list admin, TomC

Just to give you an idea. Our tune-ups run around 250$. This includes, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and an oil change if needed. All parts are German OEM spec.

Dont F around with non German parts. They have pretty high failure rate. This means: you stuck, car no start, in the middle of nowhere, @ 2 AM. ;)
