Parts going NLA
Preserving the Vanagon
Spring is here and it is time to get your vans on the road. Here at Van-Again
we are dedicated to helping you keep your vans a rollin. It is to this end that we
are constantly scouring the planet for parts that VW has discontinued so that our Vans
can stay on the road. In this past year the front heater core of the Vanagon has
gone the way of the Dodo. There is no other source than VW for these and now if you
have one fail it can be a show stopper. We saw this problem and acted to remedy the
situation. We now sell American made, all aluminum front heater cores for the Vanagon.
They are custom made for us here in the USA and they are superior to the OE ones in
quality. Because I didn't cut any corners on these they are not cheap. I am selling
them for $575, however it should be the last one you ever need to buy for your van.
I wanted folks to know because people are buying used cores and putting them in because
of the availability problem. There is an alternative. Why spend the time or money
to pull your entire dash only to put a 20 year old used core in there? Part number
in our webstore is 251265303C
We have Coolant Fittings for 1.9l Vanagons. That pesky plastic fitting on the firewall
that likes to break, we have that in all aluminum now for $179 (025121082 for manual or 025121082A for automatic). That junky plastic H
connector by the coolant tank, we have that in brass for $99 (025121438). Replace these parts once
and for all with new ones that will never go bad in the future.
Current projects, cross over pipe for the top of the 2wd Gas Tank. Shifter linkage for
80-83 Vanagon. When these projects are ready I will put out another newsletter.
If you have a suggestion for a No Longer Available part that you would like us to try to
find or make, please drop us a line. Also any suggestions for future news letters would
be considered.
As you are purchasing your tune up and repair parts for spring please consider Van-Again
as your parts source. Your support helps keep us going and keeps these newsletters
coming. If you appreciate these letters the best way to say thanks to use us as your
parts supplier. You get great parts and great prices, and we get to continue to
serve you. It is a win, win for both of us. Thank you so much for your support!
Thanks,
Ken Wilford
