Hi Zoltan. If your son doesn't have a Vanagon Bentley manual and if his funds are limited, a used copy of the Haynes Air Cooled Vanagon manual can be found for not too much money. If he lives in the US, here's one for sale in Eugene Oregon: https://eugene.craigslist.org/pts/d/eugene-vw-service-manuals/7357095674.html I'm quite sure people on this list will be more than happy to help him solve the no start issue.
