1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Wolfsburg Edition Weekender

Description for Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon 1985

We purchased this Westy from a gentleman in Bloomington Indiana the Winter of 2008. He had two and seemed to do a lot of his own work. He included a repair manual that we have since loaned to our mechanic who has worked on and maintained this vehicle for the years we have owned it. The body was in solid shape though with signs of wear as was the interior. We spent most of our vehicle maintenance funds on the important mechanical features, hough recently we spent a bit on the new urethane paint job. We would say that it is well maintained and in better than fair condition for a 30 year old vehicle. It has most of the original features and is verycomfortablefor weekend camping trips. The top opens easily and both full beds fold out and close easily. The insulated body stays warm even on cold nights and the studded snow tires for winter use mean that you never get stuck in the ice or snow. We have kept this vehicle garaged for much of the time we have owned it. Though the odometer reads greater than 180,000 miles (believed to be actual miles on the vehicle), he title has no odometer reading and lists exempt. The "new" to us engine was sold to us by another enthusiasts and he said it had < 100,000 miles on it and was always run with synthetic oil. He said that it worked perfect, ever leaked (still doesn't), ut that he changed it because he wanted a fast turbo-charged engine. He has since driven ours and said that it runs beautifully.

We asked our mechanic if he could print up a compilation of the work he has done for us on the Westy. He is going to do so and also return the repair manual that we will include with the vehicle. Just reviewing the highlights from the receipts in the glove box, he following repairs/maintenanceare from most recent to oldest:12015 Urethane paint job from Maaco; Replaced engine (it is actually a 4 cylinder); 2013 rack and pinion, ront shocks, ie rods; alignment; tires; 2012 misc electrical; ignition switch. I tried to edit the info listing the engine as a 6 cylinder and was unsuccessful. Again, he engine is the standard 4 cylinder that would normally come with this vehicle from the factory.
