To keep the rear door open and save your 20bucks,cut a piece of plumbing pipe a bit shorter than the length of the exposed piston of the door and wider than the cylinder part.Then place over the piston so that it slides and catches on the cylinder and keeps the door in place,when opened.Simple but effective

Well. We had adream!! We purchased a 1988 Vanagon. Looked great. Checked out. Ran smooth. Home two months and 3 weeks away from our first trip. I took it for a hitch for our bikes. On the way it caught fire. Apparently the starter kept turning and .......? As it sits now a total loss. Well maybe the shady boy is still salvagable , bits of this and that. 15 minutes and a dream goes up in smoke.
Where to now?

after [4ea]wbxs & 15 years driving &a test of patience on 1st one i found 98% of water leaks etc can end by NO pressurein system.current/84 has 300Kplus,going strong on orig mtr&trans.used this method on all 4wbx in all conditions of driving.If all repairs done 1st & in good shape to start. Cyl to head seal ring is a design problem & can only be replaced when compression leaks start forcing water into ovflo. I have a 100% repair method of outer head water seal if anyone interested.
