Yes I highly agree with George on this one.  I have people call me all
the time and give me a laundry list of all of the parts they have
replaced on their Vanagon and they are still having the original problem
they started with.  Most of the time if they had just went through the
system with a Bentley manual and a multimeter and did the tests in the
book, they could have saved themselves much time and money.  Or if you
want to be more specific just call or email me about a problem you are
having.  I can usually narrow down the area of the problem and help you
troubleshoot it.  That way when you buy parts from me it is exactly what
you need instead of expensive parts that you don't need.  And you don't
even need to use a part number, just tell me what you want and I'll look
up the part number for you (shocking concept) :-0
