Here's the story.  I have a 1985 Westfalia GL with the original 1.9l =

        I spent a great deal of time on this yesterday.  ETKA illustration
10-00 is certainly for the 2.0 litre air-cooled engine. Part No. 025 115 451 is
certainly the oil breather assembly for the 1.9 engine. Part No. 391 117 090 2
comes up as "Unknown Part".  BIG question here is why is the 2.0 litre
air-cooled engine coming up in the 1985 Vanagon parts directory on ETKA ?  I thought
1983 was the last year for the 2.0 litre air-cooled motor.  Was it still
offered as an option ?  Or, is ETKA screwed up ?
