Hi all:

I have a 1987 vanagon westfalia and I'd like to remove the lower front
grill. It has5 or so rectangular plastic "pins" that I don't know how to
remove without breaking!

Please help!


Thanks,  Tom

Same questions as Bill's plus one.  Is it possible to tilt/park the Vanagon
in such a way that more of or nearly all the old oil will drain (4 sp,
manual, 2wd)?  Or can this only be done with the tranny out?  (Ok, that's 2
questions.)

Thanks,
