My advice: replace or attend to Vanagon stuff now, rather sooner than later. Reason: all the cool Vanagon mechanics are retiring or closing shop. Here in San Diego for instance, at least 3 have recently quit.
Just dismal. But the way of life.

Hi Richard - although I am a decade younger, I am hoping to be able to keep
my van going and not rusting away for another 20 plus years as well. I
will need to consider an engine upgrade in 5 or maybe more years - cross
that bridge when it comes. It will be a summer only vehicle so that should
keep the wear and tear down,
Bruce
