I think so-  they would be great for reference in addition to
the Bentley manual- you can print out any page or section as needed.
It would be great for the Vanagon community here- make it available
as a free download and then anybody can put it on CD if they wish or
just keep on their hard drive.
        Most people aren't going to hunt down a viewer to utilize the fiche...

        I'll put up money to get it done if you think you can do it-
shouldn't take much.
