Hi Zoltan.

If your son doesn't have a Vanagon Bentley manual and if his funds are
limited, a used copy of the Haynes Air Cooled Vanagon manual can be
found for not too much money. If he lives in the US, here's one for
sale in Eugene Oregon:

I'm quite sure people on this list will be more than happy to help him
solve the no start issue.

Neil.
