decide whether to fix it or to unload it and get another van (maybe a vanagon).<BR>
<BR>
Here are my questions:<BR>
How reliable is the Vanagon (late '80's - early 90's models)?<BR>
Can I retrofit a wasserboxer into my type 2? &nbsp;Would it be worth it?<BR>
Does the water-cooled Vanagon engine have more power than my 2.0L type IV?<BR>
Could I maintain the speed limit going uphill in a camper?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance for your advice.<BR>
