OK, you've found the archives, that's the best 1st
step.  Also in the archives you find that many people
suggest that when buying a vanagon, to check the fuel
lines.  Your '89 is now 14 or so years old and so are
the fuel lines (most likely).  Vanagain.com sells a
whole Kit for redoing the lines.   Old lines and high
pressure fuel pump is a recipe for disaster.

If you have all of the papers, the check when all the
fluids were changed, Tranny & engine oil, coolant (You
said it has only had the good stuff, but when was it
changed?)  Synthetic engine & Tranny oil.

New fuel filters (before and after the fuel pump).

Wheels aligned & balanced.

Clean the upholstery

Re paint the van

etc.

Do you have any money left?     m2cw   Malcolm
