Mark, you don't say what year your van is.  VW used different recommendations in different years.  The door jamb on my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile has different recommendations for the tires, depending on which rims and tires.  There is a formula available based on LR, tire size, and load.  One of the list vendors has it handy, I think.  But the short answer is no, the inflation differs depending on the wheels and tires installed.  mcneely
