Windshield wipers designed for reduced noise and improved performance at high speeds

Universal cover for all Vanagon models, including high roof and campers

Adventurewagen was a Fort Bragg, California conversion builder, not a Volkswagen model or Transporter generation. In a December 1998 Gerry thread about camper conversions, a contributor describes its high-roof conversion as common on the U.S. West Coast and distinguishes that fixed high roof from pop-top layouts. A 2001 thread also identifies Adventurewagen as a maker of Vanagon high-top conversions. Roof, interior, and equipment vary by build and vehicle year.

a type of corrosion that occurs in radiators due to high-lead solder

Component that directs the high voltage from the ignition coil to the correct cylinder

High-quality shift knob made from a solid piece of material

A device that measures various electrical parameters with high precision

Wires that carry the high-voltage spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs

A corrosion inhibitor that provides protection similar to MBT, but is more durable at higher temperatures

Coil that generates the high voltage needed to create a spark in the engine's cylinders

A heavy-duty constant velocity joint designed for high-stress applications

A type of driving condition characterized by normal engine temperature, highway speeds, and a clean environment.

System responsible for generating the high voltage needed to create a spark in the engine's cylinders

A model of early buses that had the highest level of interior features and trim levels. Usually with the small sight-seeing windows in the roof and either 21 or 23 side windows. Also a HUGE fabric sunroof was available as an option.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation. One of the emission control techniques, in which gases are sucked from the exhaust pipes (before the muffler) and re-circulated through the intake manifold (to be 'burned' again). the high heat associated with exhaust gases required expensive metals ... so replacing/repairing this system can be costly.

Wolfsburg Editions are models with a higher level of trim, and are probably intended to stimulate sales late in the model year. In addition trim upgrades, they usually include some options without any extra charge (power mirrors, power door locks, and power windows, etc.) The true Weekender is usually also offered as a Wolfsburg Ed. (It's believed that the Westy Weekender only came as a Wolfsburg Edition.)
