Because 1.9/2.1L Vanagons take Beetle valve covers, which are available from Volkswagen/Brazil (as well as aftermarket suppliers). The Type 4 valve covers are unique to that engine and have to come from Volkswagen/Germany, hence the higher price. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
