If brake fluid has been leaking into the booster, I
would replace it. If not, it should work for a while
longer. The brake booster in a Vanagon lives a fairly
sheltered life compared to most vehicles since it's
located inside the van instead of being in the engine
compartment.

You will need to remove the entire dashboard to remove
the booster, you only need to remove the instrument
panel to R&R the MC. If the booster does require
replacement later, it can be R&Red without
disconnecting the hydraulic lines from the MC, so that
simplifies the procedure.

I would buy a new German MC and not mess with
rebuilding my old one.

Good luck,
