Incidentally, if you pull your instrument cluster to send off the a vendor for repair or just to let it languish on your bench until you get around to working on it, the van will run fine without it.� At least my '87 does.� Running without guages, make sure to check all fluids periodically since you won't have warning if something goes amiss.

Another sign of how lucky we are with our vendors.� The
problem isn't a Vanagon problem--it is a VDO problem.� The
same happens on Porsche speedos.� Cost of repair is
somewhat higher....
