for those of you who might be looking for manuals for Eurovans and
Vanagons, that site also has pretty cheap prices!
click on Vans and Mini-vans (on the left side) then go to the 3rd page
...
Eurovan/multivan/cv camper 1992-2003 repair manual on dvd -$78.
cheapest i've seen it on the internet. but it's a bit confusing (to
me) ...
right next to it is "Eurovan 1992-2003 repair manual" $67. ???

anyway, anybody looking for repair manuals might check it out.
but a word of 'warning' ... those manuals with the dark green covers
and a negative-image of the eurovan or vanagon are german-written and
have NO pictures, just kinda crappy line drawings of stuff. :( maybe
ok for reference, but not my favorite type of information.

hope it helps. good luck!
