The Volkswagen Vanagon, affectionately known as the "Vanagon" or "Westfalia" for its popular camper conversion option, is a rear-engine, water-cooled minivan produced by Volkswagen from 1980 to 1992. It replaced the iconic T1 Transporter (known as the "Microbus" in the US) and while maintaining a similar boxy shape, the Vanagon featured a more modern design with a unibody chassis, independent suspension, and a range of fuel-efficient four-cylinder engines. The Vanagon was offered in various configurations, including a standard van, a long-wheelbase version, and the popular "Campmobile" (also known as "Westfalia") featuring a built-in kitchenette, sleeping quarters, and a pop-top roof. Its practicality and ruggedness made it a favorite among families, adventurers, and surfers, earning it a devoted following that continues to this day. Despite its popularity, the Vanagon wasn't without its challenges. Its complex engine design, coupled with frequent use in demanding conditions, often led to mechanical issues. This, combined with a lack of readily available parts, has made maintaining and repairing a Vanagon a challenging undertaking for many owners.

This manual provides detailed information on every aspect of the Vanagon, from basic maintenance procedures to complex engine overhauls.
