Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon with a 4-cylinder engine is prone to oil leaks, especially from the valve cover gasket and oil cooler seals.

Overheating

The Vanagon's cooling system can be problematic due to aging components such as the radiator, water pump, and coolant hoses, leading to potential overheating issues.

Ignition system problems

Issues with the ignition system, including the distributor, ignition coil, and spark plugs, can cause misfires and poor engine performance.

Fuel injection troubles

The fuel injection system, particularly the fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator, may experience clogging or failure, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Exhaust leaks

Exhaust manifold cracks and gasket failures are common problems, leading to exhaust leaks and potentially harmful fumes entering the cabin.

Vacuum leaks

Aging vacuum lines and seals can develop leaks, causing rough idling, stalling, and poor fuel economy.

Head gasket failure

The 4-cylinder engine in the Vanagon is susceptible to head gasket failure, which can result in coolant and oil mixing, leading to engine damage.

Timing belt wear

If not regularly maintained, the timing belt can wear out or break, causing severe engine damage.
