David try this . See if you can log on to Cad.com and see all the horror stories there. Apples and oranges. The Vanagon weighs from 3450-5000lb's has a 4 cylinder pushing it and 7 to 9 people down the road at 70mph, so of course it's going need more care.Now if we had the normal thin double layer metal head gaskets. We would probably be signing on to Toyota.com asking how come you guys only get 300k befor your engine breaks down. No Dave stick to the Toyota or marry the daughter of a VW dealership owner. Good luck Marcus |
