If you know how to burn a CDROM from an ISO image, I can point you to and
ISO of the ETOS program, which is a parts listing for pretty much every VW
made.in <http://made.in> the last 30 years.

Like much of what comes up on ebay, it sounds like a scam. I bet they've
printed out and/or copied to CDROM the parts diagrams out of the ETOS or
ETKA programs. Mot worth the money when it's available (ahem) "free".

Dunno what part you mean, but here's a link to a PDF of the particular ETOS
parts screen for the early vanagon cooling system: <

You ought to be able to find the part and its number with that.
