I've had three gas Vanagons in addition to my diesel Westy, which is the
only one I still have and it has just shy of 400K on it because it RUNS.
The others had myriad electrical/computer problems that either caused or
contributed to the demise of the vehicle. The Carat, I bought new in 1990.
I could not put up with the niggling engine management problems on any of
them.
