This book only covers Rabbits and Sciroccos, up to the 1980 models (unless its been updated). The original "How to keep your Volkswagen Alive" has been updated to include a few mentions of the Vanagon, but the Vanagon info is very limited and mostly wrong. (Did you know that the watercooled vanagon uses the Rabbit engine and transmission??) I find the existance of the Rabbit book and the update to the original to be a bit amusing, since the original specifically excluded the Type III because it was too complex to be considered a true VW!
