What is the little canister On the passeger side of the aaz block. That has a shaft going into the block it self and A vacuum line coming off of it with a check valve on it. And next question do I need it and How do I go about getting rid of it?

I'm no vanagon expert but it should control your heater vent controls too??
and cruise control if vanagons have that?

put a ABS set-up in it and you wont need any Vacuum :lol:
the only thing my GLI needs is vacuum for the cruise and heater controls....

No Abs Heat Is totally stand alone All I would have is the Power breaks. I do remember Disconnecting that line now. Thanks for reminding me. What is the check valve for?
