Built for Diesel, Syncro, and Camper Owners Alike

Because the 1980-1991 Vanagon lineup spanned air-cooled, water-cooled gasoline, and diesel engines, plus 2WD and Syncro 4WD drivetrains, this manual dedicates separate repair sections to Diesel Fuel Injection, AFC (air-cooled) Fuel Injection, and water-cooled Fuel Injection systems, so owners of any Vanagon engine configuration are covered under one manual. Camper-specific chapters address the pop-top roof, cabinetry, water tank, refrigerator, and camper seating/bed hardware unique to Westfalia-style Vanagon Campers, alongside the mechanical repair groups shared by every 1980-1991 Vanagon.
