Haynes have a manual for the Vanagon, but it is aimed at Europe/Asia, not
the US. It covers most of the features of the US models, though. It does
cover things as US-spec cat-engines, air-conditioning, 5-speed tranny and
carburetted engines. It does NOT cover Diesel, Turbo-diesel and Syncro.
This manual is not an "owners workshop manual" like previous manuals, but
included in a new series of "repair and service manuals". These manuals are
not as much "tear down and rebuild everything yourself"  type manuals, I.E.
it does not cover how to rebuild the tranny. It is available in English
#3452 and Swedish #SV3392. The air-cooled manuals are: English/Europe
#0638, US/Canada #96045. My manual (swedish) has a complete list of manuals
available at time of print, but all manuals available is on-line.
