dear vanagoners

our westie has a fuel enrichment actuator on the diesel pump
a few weeks ago the T part broke off ..
so this week in victoria bc i stopped at a vw specality repair shop
the yard was cluttered with many junked westies and other vanagon / bays and
etc
the guy who ran the shop knew immediately-- what part i sought --
he called the local vw dealer to check availability-- really i stopped
there  cause i thought it would exist in the parts pile --

he talked for some timer on the phone then said -- i had to go to the vw
dealer and present my F1 import form before i could access parts through the
dealer
especially if my vehicle was zzz in the vin ---
i laughed ... we are third owner ... although we have a large quaity of OEM
paper work ...
i am unsure if this elusive form 1 is part of it ...
so whats the scoop ...
has any other canadian who has imported a vanagon from europe heard of this
...
thanks for imput ...
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
