Peter,

Here's the full story as found on the www.haynes.com:

Haynes Publications Inc. (USA) does not publish a manual for water-cooled
Vanagons. They only have one for the air-cooled:
       1029 - Vanagon all air-cooled models '80 thru '83

Haynes Publishing (England), however, does publish a manual that does cover
our water-cooled Vanagons (called Transporters in the U.K.):
      3452 - Volkswagen Transporter (82-90) Transporter
             Van & Pickup 1913 & 2109cc water cooled
             petrol engines '82 to '90

You can get the latter from www.busdepot.com, from www.amazon.co.uk, or
directly from sales@haynes-manuals.co.uk. The busdepot route is likely the
cheaper.

That's how I understand it.
