Yes I highly agree with George on this one. I have people call me all the time and give me a laundry list of all of the parts they have replaced on their Vanagon and they are still having the original problem they started with. Most of the time if they had just went through the system with a Bentley manual and a multimeter and did the tests in the book, they could have saved themselves much time and money. Or if you want to be more specific just call or email me about a problem you are having. I can usually narrow down the area of the problem and help you troubleshoot it. That way when you buy parts from me it is exactly what you need instead of expensive parts that you don't need. And you don't even need to use a part number, just tell me what you want and I'll look up the part number for you (shocking concept) :-0
