About a year ago I had my vanagon in to my VW dealer to adjust basic
settings and replace some parts. The mechanic (a vanagon owner) suggested
that as long as we were in there to replace all the fuel lines in the engine
bay as a preventative measure even though there were no problems. He also
suggested replacing the plastic part at the fire wall. The cost was
insignificant and the labor minimal. I recall it cost me less than $40 and I
decided to take his advice.

At that time I was new to vanagon ownership and most of the work was paid
for by the previous owner as part of the purchase agreement. I paid for the
extras like the fuel lines, a new distributor cap and rotor and a few other
minor items. Since then I have learned to do a lot of my own work.

Are there any other fuel lines I should check next time I go under the van
for a look see? I have too much invested in this van to risk any preventable
measure.
