Hello Vanagon list members,

Some of you may remember my transaxle issues from last fall ... well,
I got it out last month and Daryl at aatransaxle is rebuilding it now.
Now that I have all that room opened up under the van I thought I'd
get some stuff done, like ...

* repacking rear CVs
* replacing all the heater hose (I don't know if it's ever been done on the van)
* replace plastic coolant pipes with stainless ones

I'm wondering what else a Vanagon DIY-er would do while their
transaxle is out? In addition, I've found some archived messages
concerning heater hose replacement and it doesn't seem like too big of
a job as long as you get the correct size and length replacement hose.
I don't suppose there's any obvious way you can tell if the heater
hose is original or not.

All suggestions are welcome - thanks.
