Peter, Here's the full story as found on the www.haynes.com: Haynes Publications Inc. (USA) does not publish a manual for water-cooled Vanagons. They only have one for the air-cooled: 1029 - Vanagon all air-cooled models '80 thru '83 Haynes Publishing (England), however, does publish a manual that does cover our water-cooled Vanagons (called Transporters in the U.K.): 3452 - Volkswagen Transporter (82-90) Transporter Van & Pickup 1913 & 2109cc water cooled petrol engines '82 to '90 You can get the latter from www.busdepot.com, from www.amazon.co.uk, or directly from sales@haynes-manuals.co.uk. The busdepot route is likely the cheaper. That's how I understand it. Éric
