Marty;
        I use Prestone's orange 5 year stuff. For heads and gaskets:
busdepot, ken wilford, boston bob, AVP, or check archives.

Hello - I just joined the group and I have a '85 Vanagon I bought in
December for $1000. I now have the money to fix the head gasket leak and
dead battery. I've been doing lots of research on the net so what's the
scoop on ordering anti-freeze and head gaskets from Germany? Is that the
best way to get gaskets & anti-freeze? What about ordering/finding
curtains for the side windows? anyone ever do that to their van? and
finally how do I know what "model" my vanagon is? The vanagon.com site
doesn't have the '85 listed in its info/years/ section! I hope I'm not
asking to much at once here :) The battery is my first priority so any
info regarding this would be appreciated. Then it's on to the head
gaskets and tune-up and exhaust muffler and curtains and carpet and....

Thanks!!
