Re: Vanagan
It's spelled Vanagon.
1984 was the first year of the watercooled engine.

Re: Vanagan

Re: Vanagan
...so Glenn, why didn't YOU say 82. The question was when the watercooled Vanagon first was available....
You said 84.
Gasoline, as Mike said, was available in 83...and 82 if you bought diesel (and yes, of course there were no aircooled diesels...duh).
