I must advise against spending any money on a Chilton or Motors or Mitchel
manual for any Euro mark. They are US experts and out of their area of
expertise with any Euro mark. The Bentley and Haynes and this list will
give you better than 99% coverage for anything you need to know. AutoData
publishes a Euro systems manual which includes late 80's on Vanagon info.
It is superb for step by step ignition and fuel injection diagnostic
procedures. Great diagrams and very thorough information. But it is just
like the Bentley, skip one step and it's value can be completely lost to a
goose chase.
