These machines really are cool. But like any machine, they have to be
maintained properly. If the the proper preventive maintenance is done, our
beloved Vanagons will rarely let you down. It was quite evident that in the
case of my '88 GL model the PO ignored everything. I paid the bill to bring
it back up to snuff, but now I should not have any more trouble for a while.
....and it has only 73,000 miles on it now.

Nice story.  I appreciate the tips.  The little 4" hose was the first one to
fail on mine.  I figure it should be replaced with the water pump at about
100K miles.  Someday I'll find the thermostat and replace it, too.    These
machines sure are nice to travel in as long as they keep traveling. Regards,
