btw...
in some states used parts must be noted as such on the repair invoice. -
like a requirement.
Used might be a viable choice.......but only with disclosure !

Van has had the flu since last summer and only now tracking down the last of
it*.

Took the van to the local Vanagon experts [ a 45 min drive from here] 3
weeks ago

Garage reported *all fixed* and I picked up van. Van was running better[?]
but

they only managed/ bother to fix one of the problems by replacing a flaky

idle stabilizer, adjusting timing and CO.  $300+

So when i open up the engine compartment this week - I spot the *new* idle
stabilizer

which clearly older than the one broken one they pulled out! [ all rusty ]

Am I wrong to expect the garage to inform me that they put in a [ $130+]
used part?

*Since then - I am managed to track down/ fix the AFM vanagon syndrome and

and a TPS WAY out of adjustment... THANK YOU VANAGON ARCHIVES

and van is getting better by the day.
