Ive been through this before for parts for my trany.  There isnt a 
good supply of used vanagons around in Ontario to wish for a used 
part.  The van runs real rough right now (20l/100 km), so I could 
hang on for a while.  If there is someone out there who could locate 
a used one, that would be one strike against those crooks (the 
dealers)!  The part no. is 251 907 393B. The dealer wants $505. And 
20% restocking if I just want to look for IC#s. There is no guarantee 
that the chips will have recognizable #. 

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
