Hello Vanagoneers:

First I'd like to compliment Ron 'Coyote' Lussier's great new web site. I'd highly recommend it to everybody on the list. It's not yet complete, but there's plenty there to enjoy. I liked the link to the Volkswagen of Germany website that shows pictures of the new Eurovans. I hated the way they looked at first, but now I'm slowly coming around (especially if they offer them here with six cylinders). There's also a link to the MSDS Panzerwagen Page. I remember reading about this vehicle a few years ago in a VW magazine, but I don't think my van is eligible because it's an automatic. Does anyone know for sure?

Secondly, there was a thread about the Peter Russek Manual a few weeks ago. Well, I asked Drew at Auto-Bound Books (510) 521-8755 to order one from England for me, and he called me back a couple of weeks later to tell me that his distributor had just started stocking this very book. I just received mine today. It is a joint publication of Brooklands and Peter Russek Publications, and is titled "Volkswagen Transporter Workshop Manual (from 1982 on)." It is devoted to water cooled Vanagons and might be thought of as a follow-up to the Hayes Transporter Manual for air-cooled models. There are no photographs, just diagrams, but most of the diagrams are amazingly detailed, with especially nice drawings of the cooling system lay-out and fuel injection components. BUT . . . It costs $29.95 for a 176 page book. However, it is nice to have something to supplement the Bentley manual for those of us with waterboxers.
