After a few years, quite a bit of tears, lots of laughs and about as much gas, it's time to let go of my precious Vanagon. I've had this van for over 2 years, and I've loved every minute of it. The list of new parts/upgrades is almost too long for me to even remember, but fortunately, I have service records from both previous owners, dating back to the early 90's!! In addition to those records, I have a personal laundry list of work that I've done myself:New suspension (down to the bushings) that means shocks, struts, control arms, bushings, boots, tires, etc. (ALL NEW RUBBER!!)New fuel pump, pressure regulator, filter & lines (10k miles)New radiator, hoses and water pump (10k miles)New master & slave cylinders (clutch)New clutch and re-pin shifter (2k miles)New brake rotors and pads (2k miles)New throttle cable (10k miles)New ignitionNew spark plugs (literally 3 days old)New distributor & cablesNew battery (5k miles)New alternator (10k miles)New starterNew valve covers & gaskets (2k miles)New rear axles (5k miles)New headlamps & accessory lightsNew dash lightsNew Coolant level sensorNew temp ii sensorNew exhaust (cat back) (10k miles)New windshield wipersOil changed every 4,000 miles Coolant flushed 10k miles agoLevels consistently maintainedSeriously so many new parts, and the majority of what I've listed here was done by me, and the other certified tech's at Eurozone Motors in Los Angeles (specializing in VW and other Euro imports)Let's move to the aesthetic dept.New bumpersNew corner caps for bumpersNew 14" General Grabber AT TiresYakima Roof RackCustom built futon style bedCustom fit 6 drawer dresserHardwood laminate flooringLED accent interior lightingKenwood Stereo Head Unit w/ Alpine front speakersRear-heater delete kit (to avoid what's notorious for leaking) Now onto the negatives:Small rust spot under rear driver side window (easy day job)Small rust spot under passenger side front windshieldCoolant level sensor &/or wiring is fouled, and level/temp warning light in dash is constantly flashing (definitely an electrical issue)The odometer stopped counting at 182,XXX. I have ballparked it since then - assuming that the odometer was correct when I purchased the van (march of 2016) it currently has a little more than 200,000 miles on the original motor and tranny. (side note, the gear oil was changed when I purchased the van, so 15k miles or so ago)Ok, that's all I can think of, but I am positive I'm leaving stuff out. If you want to ask me more, just give me a buzz.Happy hunting!!
