Hi, please define: ""Serviced"" If checking oil, have a look under and inside the engine bay is call: ""Serviced"", yes you have to. If ""serviced"" mean checking every componnants carefully....yes you have to... ha ha ha ha. It,s a VW after all... They are 15 to 25 years old van...unless you are aware of every """service and maintenance"" done in the past 10 years, you should be carefull about everyhting. Have a good and honest friend or mechanic make a good check on it, from fuel lines to braking system, from ground wires check to alternator check, from cooling hoses to shifting rods and bushing. Average peoples just don't care about mechanical parts and maintenance, but they do care about how it look. Many folks (including me)have good advices and web page here and on other list, there is good books on the subject too. It's not a question of maintenance, it's a question of security. Cheers, Ben http://www.benplace.com/vw2.htm ------------------------------------------------- Hello, My '89 Westy is almost at 100k and I've been told that my vanagon should be serviced every 3000 miles; this is far more frequent than my manual indicates. Is there such a thing as a list of items to be performed or checked for at these 3k intervals? How do you folk maintain your vanagons? Cheers. |
