Hi folks, sorry for the bandwidth but I'm new and don't know how to access
the archives.  I recently bought an 84 Vanagon 7 pass. And the previous
owner told me the front brake pads needed to be replaced.  He emphatically
told me not to use metallic since this would damage the rotors.  Is this
correct?  I do not have an owner's manual yet so I don't know what it
recommends.  I was told at the parts store that all other cars use metallic
so why shouldn't the Vanagon?  What should I use?  I'm afraid they want me
to use the metallic kind so they can sell me a set of rotors later on.
Thanks.     Rene
