In Germany:
All gasoline Vanagons: No resistor (one relais in fusebox) EXCEPT 2,1 with
A/C: One piece ceramic resistor (251 971 284H, three pin connectors) and
400(?) Watt fan, two relais... 1,9 with A/C don�t have the resistor, only
one relais in the fusebox.
Non-turbo Diesels the same: No resistor, one relais in fusebox. ALL
Turbo-Diesels WITHOUT A/C: two-piece ceramic resistor 251 971 284E, two -pin
connectors, 450(?) watt fan, one big relais mounted on A-pillar.
Turbo Diesels with A/C: two-piece ceramic resistor 251 971 284H, three pin
connectors. 500Watt fan, two relais.
This is the equipment for 2WDs.
I don�t know the exact constellation for 4WDs, perhaps Harald knows?
