question right.

 year in their applications (so did VW) because people on the aftermarket
 kept trying to use one for the other - it's a no go like Tim says.
 SR401X's are the only ones I sell.

 If a FLAPS wants to sell you a Bosch SR19X, tell them no way, you want the
 Bosch SR401X.  The 401 is a couple of bucks higher than the 19, but has the
 correct solenoid. ($167.94 exch for SR401X)

 BTW - Bosch lists NO replacement solenoids for any Vanagon past 1981 except
 for Diesels.  You have to buy the whole thing.  Bummer.
