Go back and dance around this sales rep, point your finger, wag your head, and
sing "liar-liar, pants on fire; tongue is longer than a telephone wire!"

A listee with a Bentley manual can give you the exact psi for your year
Vanagon, but it is in the range of 30-35 psi. Still higher than many cars, but
not that uncommon in fuel injected cars.

Don't get cold feet about VW parts prices; there are a couple of listees who
run reputable and trustworthy parts houses with some special prices for
listees. If memory serves me, I bought a fuel pump from the Ron, of the Bus
Depot for about $130.
