VIN
Vehicle Identification Number. This is a number that uniquely identifies your vehicle. It is usually located in several locations on the vehicle, the most common being under the windscreen just forward of the driver (and intended to be viewed from the outside of the bus.) You'll also find the VIN on the frame rail under the van near the front edge of the sliding door. Also see: Table for interpretting the Vanagon VIN
VIN Scan
A feature for scanning vehicle identification numbers
Vehicle Identification Number
A unique identifier for a vehicle
Chassis number
A unique identifier for a vehicle, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Shift rod bushing
In this glossary entry, “shift rod bushing” refers to the rear guide bushing listed for Vanagon/T25. Paruzzi gives different VIN breakpoints for Syncro and non-Syncro applications around April 1987, so the generic name does not establish fitment. Confirm the chassis/VIN and linkage position before treating a catalog match as compatible.
Camper sink drain
The drain pipe and outlet that carry used sink water out of the camper sink. Some vintage camper layouts discharge through an open outlet rather than a grey-water tank, so the installed arrangement should be checked on the vehicle.
