Work performed during my ownership:

  • Oil Change October 2021

  • By Kevin Mayer, Vanagon Repair March 2023

    • Heaters and blowers repaired

    • Replaced master cylinder and bleed system

    • Rear brakes adjusted

    • New wiper switch

    • Oil pressure light and sensor repaired


Just drove the van 150 miles and ran perfectly. Was raining cats and dogs and was easily doing 65 on the highway.


Known Issues:

  • Although the van was tripped and repainted, there is a dent in the rear left corner that the previous owner didn’t pull out for some reason but doesn’t hurt anything

  • The rear door lock works periodically. I have a new lock, but when they painted the van, they painted over the bolts holding in the lock and haven’t got them loose yet.

  • No key for the sliding door lock but can be unlocked/locked by access via the passenger door.


I have records going back to 2008. All my receipts are complete but I can’t vouch for the completeness of the records before my ownership.


Not interested in trades.


I can only upload 25 photos to eBay. I have 160+ photos plus video of engine running in my google photo album. Happy to provide link (ebay doesn't allow links anymore).
