  Christian C. asked:

  Need help! Hi all, I just removed the engine of my new 1986 Vanagon Syncro and find that much oil and residue into the transmission casting. What cause that? How much hard it is to fix? Where can I still find parts to fix it. Thank you all.

  Cindy D. asked:

  Anyone have a specific recommendation for replacing fuel lines? Any specific parts better than others or are they all generally the same? I just feel its safe to do that proactively? My '91 would appreciate it Im sure.

  Thomas D. asked:

  It seems like if you own a 82 or earlier Vanagon you are doomed! No one has parts but a possible upgrade may help. I need shift linkage bushings and a distributor.

  

  Jim T. replied:

  Thomas - Get ahold of Ken@Vanagain. He's been able to source NOS shift rod bushings from old stocks he located in Europe. They haven't been mfr'd for at least 15 years. http://www.vanagain.com/

  

  Kenneth W. replied:

  No one has the early vanagon shifter parts but Van-Again. I have sourced them and the other parts suppliers just refer folks to me. Just fyi.

  

  Kenneth W. replied:

  Thanks Jim. Yes we do have you early Vanagon owners covered with new shifter parts. www.vanagain.com

  Danyell D. asked:

  i just brought my '82 diesel to philly. she needs inspection and a bit of work. ideally i will find a place near phoenixville that will let me park her and just come out and camp and kayak when i get time. i have a studio in south center city and fear she will be attacked for her individuality... does anyone have a repair shop, enthusiastic tinkerer, living situation that they can suggest for her?

  Daniel Y. asked:

  I am having a re-occuring brake fluid wet spot under my pedals. A buddy of mine who is a former VW mechanic thinks I might need a new brake master cylinder and booster. I was thinking of replacing the clutch master while I'm at it. I noticed the huge spread in cost between Go Westy, Van Cafe, and google shopping. Does anyone have any experience with sourcing these parts? Recommendations? My budget for this maintenance/repair is about 150-250$. Thanks in advance!

  

  Scott H. replied:

  I had this problem and it was just the grommets for the brake fluid reservoir on the top of the master cylinder. Vanagain.com had them for a few bucks.

  Mark M. asked:

  Looking for Air Cooled parts help. Finding many parts are needed on our 82 Camper and would really like to find a good reliable, especially "knowledgeable" source for parts. Please respond only if you have good info about "Air Cooled suppliers" as there are many, many differences with the water version. This comes after receiving yet another wrong part shipment. This time, the supplier actually sent a part that doesn't even go to a Vanagon and checking the part number I find that he actually sent me a Scirocco part that runs $30 and charged me $120. I've given up ordering directly from many of the normal Westy/Vanagon type websites and call prior to placing my orders simply to ensure the parts are correct and actually in stock, but even this doesn't seem to be doing much to correct the problem. Is there an Air Cooled Vanagon Parts Supplier out there somewhere?

  

  Scott H. replied:

  Try vanagain.com I needed bushings, etc for my 82 and though some items are NLA he has identified items from other vehicles that work. Good guy.
