Hi Eric,
    Yes the napa accumulator dryer napa p/n 208307 was an exact replacement
for  my 86 westy 2wd. Napa list this as used on 80-87 vanagons.  My dryer is
about 2.5" diameter and 7" long, and resides in the rear portion of the left
front wheel well.    Maybe  4 wd use  the a different  unit.

Darrell
