Dear Barry and other newbies to the water cooled bus like myself,

I am one of the lucky ones as the Vanagon Official Factory Repair Manual
(Bentley) came with my '87, and before that with my '72.  There are 4 pages
covering the draining and filling of the cooling system.  There _is_ more to
it than my previous swedish cars ('59 PV544 & '75 245DL.)

Has nobody put these fundamental details online?
