This one looks like it won't be too difficult to fix. Some re-engineering should be done. That back area is way too cramped and a lot of exhaust heat is trapped underneath.

Did you have comprehensive insurance? That would cover some of this. I can see not carrying collision as we all want collisions to be someone else's fault and collision coverage can be pricey. But things like fire, floods, trees falling, even theft are things completely outside our control and they do happen. Even that broken windshield can be covered. I just finished getting an engine running that was filled with sea water from Sandy. With all the money I know invested in just this one van it boggles me not to have comp coverage.

So for Christmas consider getting your pride the gift of coverage!

Dennis

Yep, that's the one. I guess I'll have to crack that box open and see what the damaged are. I don't know if the silver decal (hose diagram (thanks Mark D.)) was for the boxer engine or the I5. Are they still available? Thanks. -Dick-

Hi Dick.

If you're referring to the black box in this image:

that looks like the OEM Vanagon wiring junction box.
