Hi,

For those were following this thread, I gathered a bunch of pics and wiring diagrams from a bunch of sources and posted them in two places. One is in my Picasa page and the other is on the "Van O. Rama" Facebook page. Posted there because I thought the parties involved in this conversation or on Van O Rama's friend's list. Pmail me if you need to get into the Picasa page.

One is the same as that found on your Vanagon. The second pump is a high pressure unit similar to the ones found in VW & Audi products with headlights washers.

Hoses just 'T' together. The wiring on the other hand left me with a question. How does one operate the headlight washers? Should they be wired with the  windshield washer pump? The gauge is much thicker for the high pressure pump which leads me to believe there might be a separate circuit for it.
