Couple of Digifant schematics, not complete internally, but may help.
Might try ecudoctors.com....

Obviously such a solution would be costly as there would be insufficient demand to scale, but it would make it possible to add an OBD interface to the Vanagon :-O.   ... of course, it would probably be more effective to simply add a Subaru flat-four with its proven computer control system.

>> Wow! It looks like reversed polarity or a short caused a high current and burned the components. R usually stands for resistor, D for diode and C for capacitor. B usually stands for battery but that doesn't make sense in this case. I would guess that B202 is a inductor or coil. L usually stands for coil on U. S. schematics, but maybe VW uses B for the B field associated with a coil.
