beg your pardon. was only thinking of diesel and waterboxer water cooled vanagonswhen I wrote that. Your air-cooled vanagon , engine cooling wise, is just likeany 79 or early VW Bus .. And your engine should be well-sealed all around .. so cooling air coming in the upper vents , all of it, goes through either air intake/fuel system or engine cooling system. Got power steering or tachometer on your 'real' Vanagon ? lol. Drive a good say ..87 and later Vanagon sometime, especially a non-westy ... Some are quite solid feeling, good handling, quiet, and pretty deluxe to drive.
