Wes, This could be true. I've just discovered, time and again, that the Haynes is confusing and lacking in details, especially as concerns model changes--and their engine designations are all English and so don't correspond to what we have here. (Dude, where's my carburetor?) I remember being stumped as I tried to follow the Haynes to set the throttle position switches. It wasn't until I got the Bentley that I realized why mine didn't look anything like that in the Haynes--the Haynes shows only the 2.1 integrated switch, and I have a 1.9 with the two separate switches. Nowhere is this mentioned in the Haynes, but it's quite clear in the Bentley. For one with no experience in Vanagons, I felt the Haynes was an exercise in frustration. Funny because it was pretty good with my Saab. As they say, YMMV. Perhaps a Haynes vs Bentley thread is in order?
