One note that I feel is important. My current Syncro
has a motor in it with 20,000 miles on it. I have no other
history on the engine or the rest of the Van. I feel that
responding to this survey would not be of any use. Any info.
I would add would not be acurate. Therefore it should be
noted if you do not know the hole history of your Vanagon.
