I suppose this is more of a computer question than it is a Vanagon one
but I tried for hours last night to download or capture or whatever the info
in that manual onto my hard drive and was totally unable to get anything I
could either view or print.
   Does anyone out there know how to do this with IE5?

    Anyone over there at Wet Westies ever thought of putting it (and other
stuff they may have) on a CD?

Subject: Preparations for Rough Road Driving

By way of Steve Schwenk's website, I found a link to wetwesties which had a
VW
Tech Manual regarding preparations for driving on rough roads, which I am
sure
we who are going to South America will encounter.

I found a few things that I thought maybe the more expert among us could
explain
to me.

1) What is a cyclone air filter and where would I get such a thing?

2) The publication goes into great detail (as such publications are wont to
do)
about installing protective devices for the engine, etc.  Are these devices
available anywhere?  Do you think these things would be necessary for
semi-paved
roads or are these for the African wilderness?

3) This publication has a terrific list of spare parts.  I would recommend
that
every other Compleat Idiot like me take a look at it.  I would also like the
non-Compleat Idiot's to give me their opinions of the list, perhaps with
advice
as to which parts should be shared among the caravaners, with the knowledge
that
the caravaners only expect to be on the same continent at the same time, not
glued at the hip.

For those interested in this topic, the tech manual can be found at
