It is not just VW. The newer the car the less room there is to do anything to it. Try changing spark plugs on a 99 Subaru Outback with DOHC 2.5 engine. I only work on cars for family and friends but plenty of times what I think should be a simple job turns out to be a nightmare, regardless of brand. When I hear people complain of the difficulty of doing a lot of Vanagon repairs I wonder what they are comparing it to. Older VWs? Mark J Stewart wrote: > Try pulling the battery from a New Beetle! Just had to pull the (dead) battery out my daughter's New Beetle, every time I touch that car I lose a little more respect for Volkswagen. Then to top it off, the sliding door on my Vanagon (had to open it to get my tools) starts acting up, not closing, just bounces back open instead of latching. I think I may just go back to bed....
