I don't know, but I wouldn't have high hopes.  Because their
inspections are so rigorous, Germans have trouble keeping
non-classic old cars on the road, so there's (even) less
market for Vanagon updates there than here.

Not for the fan, but for the injection system.  I needed
about 4 more inches above the deck height, all within the
boundaries of the lid, so I just made a lid with a plateau
in the middle.  If you use the newer, even more expensive
3.2 liter (82->, I think) engine, it will fit under the
stock deck and lid, so a westy mattress can lie flat.
