if you are using a 1.9 cooling system in your 85 vanagon, which you probably
are,
then you would order the Temp 2 sensor for an 85 with a 1.9 waterboxer
engine.......assuming you have a 2.1 long block with 1.9 water pump and
cooling system layout etc.

( it's possible to convert an 85 to a 2.1 cooling system, but a lot of parts
are involved, not just on the engine, but on the van too )
