According to the VW owners manual, the vanagon uses DOT 4 break fluid.
 However, I seem to only find DOT3 and some places I have taken my "Baby
Blue Whale" to tend look at me crazy when I mention DOT4.
 -What are the effects of using DOT3 instead of DOT4?
 -What is the boiling point of both liquids?
 -I saw at a local Western Auto a new DOT3 fluid by Prestone.  It claims
to have a higher boiling point than regular DOT3.  Can this be an
acceptable substitution?


I'll contact my local VW and hear what they got to say.


Thanks,
Nate El Great

Congratulations are in order:, I'll be glad to save young Lars my 91 GL,
last of the bread, maybe by then VW will have come to it's senses and
re-introduced something Vanagon-like again for me to step up to?
