Volkswagen Vanagon Parts

Meet the Volkswagen Vanagon, a true masterpiece that showcases all of the versatility and durability you could ever want from an automobile. The Volkswagen Vanagon was built between 1979 and 1991 as part of the Type 2 series. It featured a larger, more angular design compared to its predecessor but kept the classic rear-engine cab-over configuration. The third-generation model, which was made in Hannover, Germany, among other places, was available in various forms, such as a three-door van and pickup. There were also options for both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, also known as "Syncro." With several choices for engines ranging from 1.6L to 2.6L petrol units, both water-cooled and air-cooled, and efficient 1.6-liter and 1.7-liter diesel engines, it's safe to say there is a Volkswagen Vanagon for everyone out there. In terms of transmission, there's something for everybody with either a four- or five-speed manual option or a three-speed automatic that can be selected depending on your driving preference. Offering up lots of room and great power thanks to its wheelbase measuring from 2455 mm up to 2480mm, you're not going to have any issues fitting anything you desire inside these cars either. As this model progressed, so did the luxury features offered, with things like power steering and air conditioning coming later on in production, along with electrically heated mirrors too! On top of all this, if it's amenities you're looking for, then just know that Westfalia camper variants were also offered during production, which include such accessories as refrigerators or stoves! The Volkswagen Vanagon has proven itself time after time by remaining one of the most reliable vehicles around today while providing drivers ample space along with endless opportunities when modifying their ride.

The Volkswagen Vanagon, one of the most beloved classics, has a lot of mechanical issues. If you don't keep an eye on it, your vehicle could be doomed. One problem drivers frequently run into is overheating. This issue is usually caused by cylinder head O-rings that have started leaking or cylinder heads that have become porous due to damage from coolant loss. If you ignore these leaks and don't address them promptly, your engine will be completely ruined. Another reason the Volkswagen Vanagon might overheat is that plastic components within the cooling system are getting too old and turning brittle. When they fail, there's not much of a warning. They just start leaking all at once, causing your engine to overheat. Another issue drivers face is with automatic transmissions on certain models. The transmission oil cooler often breaks, allowing coolant to mix with transmission fluid. Because this contaminates it and causes inadequate lubrication, increased internal friction, and overheating, internal components like clutches get damaged more easily than if everything were left normal. With that said, it's important to make sure these coolers are still in good condition so that you can avoid such expensive repairs. These common problems make it crucial for owners of the Volkswagen Vanagon to regularly check their cars for wear and tear and replace anything necessary right away before even more issues occur.
