Miscellaneous: -Original VW's vehicle and camper manuals. -Comes with Bentley Shop Manual in new condition -Brand new factory back bumper -No leaks of any kind, no heads problems. -Comes with VW's Autobahn touch-up paint spray can. -Comes with VW AG's "birth certificate" -Working (!) digital LCD factory dash clock -41/60 Interstate battery (top of the line). -Working fire extinguisher -A/C has never been used since new. The original owner was allergic to it, and I have been reluctant to spend the money for recharging the system for something that I need three weeks a year in Oregon and will compromise the engine's longevity. -Original Heilderberg radio/cassette player with auto reverse, works great. Original factory speakers. -Second owner, have owned Fafner since 1/10/97 Non Factory Extras: -Alpine 6-CD exchanger with remote, under front seat. Works great, new condition. -Colgan Custom Bra (lifetime repair warranty) -Genuine dealer front grey carpet set with VW logo -Michelins LTX M/S 195/75 R14 with very little use. -Comes with a set snow studded tires mounted on Vanagon steel wheels -New clear Lexan headlight covers -Rear mudflaps with VW logo (bought at the factory in Hanover) -Cupholders (Multivan-style) -Matching Axius gray water-resistant roof rack cargo bag with straps (new). -3-M window tint -Tow hitch (1,500 #) (I have never towed anything in order to maximize engine longevity) -Gray water tank custom made to fit between the chassis frame under the kitchen area. This came out of a German Dheler Profi Vanagon camper, it is very well made (not installed yet). -Front seat Covers -Auxiliary lights with original VW dash switch that matches the rest of the instrumental. Maintenance: -Detail records of all the maintenance done to the vehicle, always using the best components available and factory replacements when possible. -Synthetic Castrol changed every 3,000 miles, always with Mhale filters -Cooling system replaced and bled every two years with VW's Autobhan blue phosphate free anti-freeze (recommended for heads longevity). -Dozens of printouts with factory recalls, servicing and common fixes procedures, maintenance schedule, tips, etc. -New front brake pads and rotors. Should be good for a long time. What needs attention: -Gas tank rubber seals are dry, so when the tank is completely filled it lets some gas out, which can be smelled for a while. This is a common problem in Vanagons and is fixed by replacing the rubber components (a very inexpensive procedure if you do it yourself). -If the vehicle is not used for a long period of time, one of the hydraulic valve lifter gets sticky and noisy. This noise goes away after driving for a while. This is also a common Vanagon deal, which is harmless to the engine. There are ways to minimize this; such as changing the oil frequently, regular and prolonged use, and using specific additives designed for this problem (like Bardhal for example). -Fridge doesn't run on 12v. I never use it this way, so I have to verify why. Could be a fuse. -Tail pipe is corroded. I have a brand new spare bought at the Bus Depot (which I painted with high temp, black paint) and gasket for this. -A/C needs to be recharged.
