Official VW Parts catalog on CD- includes parts and assembly blow-ups,
part numbers, etc.
Though out of date itself, most part numbers still valid. If not, your
dealer could take the old number and cross-regerence and find any number
that h as been superceded. Often a VW dealer parts department will tell
you "We don't have that -or - No longer availble" ....... BUT, if you
find some obscure number and take it to them, they can in fact find the
part.

Also, a ETKA is a "must have" reference  to aid in doing your own
maintenance. Especially as nowadays, the Vanagon is such an orphan with
VW that mechanics at many dealers haven't a clue as to how to work on
them. Many younger mechanics will be learning about vanagons on your
machine and that is a VERY costly propsition.
