Tom:

You are to be commended for searching the archives first for this stuff!

Here is a little tid-bit to think about. There was a discussion in late
1998 that seemed to resolve that
the Vanagon blower is the exact same as the Rabbit/Golf blower of
similar vintage. Check the archives on that stuff. Maybe you can get a
new blower motor for cheaper from a parts store by having them look it
up for the Rabbit/Golf!
