Well, after doing some research and a more detailed look at the Vin, I find
Mr. Yoshi doesn't have a Vanagon at all, but in reality itsa 1993 Eurovan
(note the "70" in the seventh & eighth character of the Vin), probably for
the Asian market.  With some help from my contact at VOA, here's the
straight info:

ECU 023 906 023A is superseded and replaced with 023 997 023 X
(Remanufactured).  There are none in North America or Mexico (figures), but
may be available from VW's main distribution point in Germany.  Price is
$1123.90 Exchange, PLUS a $300 Core Charge Deposit.  Core Deposit is of
course refunded after receipt of the old unit.  If ordered from Germany, I
would have it within 3 weeks (that is, if they have one).
