Call me superstitious or maybe even a fool, but I believe that the key to
slowing the corrosion that causes heads to leak on Vanagons is to change the
coolant annually and use only the Autobahn (VW) juice. I would be very leery
of using an "extended life" coolant with the goal being to not change the
coolant as often as VW recommends. This is my philosophy and it's worked for
me so far--95K miles and my heads are still bone dry.
