i like paper :).  do you have the title and ISBN for any of these parts
manuals.  were they published by bentley or some other publishers?  i
haven't seen anything like these on ebay but i will start looking.  i
tried to come up with a line on Q-B Autocamp but all i found were dead
links pointing to this address.

While this is true as far as it goes, there are actually Parts manuals
published by VW. They basically reproduce the illustrations that have
become the ETKA basis. There are 4 different volumes available covering
the vanagon. 79, 80-85, 86-87 and 88-. I purchased mine from Q-B AutoCamp
in Swindon in the UK.  Cost me 7.95 pounds plus shipping in 1996. Probably
out of print now, but many older copies must abound in used book or ebay
sources. The old microfiches are also still around, but the indexing
feature of the forbidden ETKA makes it quite useful.
