Hi Silvia,

My wife has a 1988 wolfsburg vanagon and we had no problem getting a
catalytic converter for it this past summer. The part is definitely
still in production. IIRC I spent about $200, and it passed smog just
fine once it was installed.

Apparently BusDepot.com has a CARB-legal cat, but it isn't cheap:

Happy Trails,
