The U.S version 1.9 litre 1984 and the later 1985 and up water-cooled gasoline engines experienced significant and repeated problems with cylinder head surface erosion and coolant leaks. 2.1lr engines suffered the same, mostly due to not having the antifreeze changed often enough.

The body style is a 3-door van or 3-door pickup. The transmission 4/5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission is available. The platform is Volkswagen Group T3 platform. US Vanagon model variations included the Vanagon, featuring vinyl seats and a spartan interior; the Vanagon L with optional cloth seats, more upscale interior panels, and an optional dashboard blower; the Vanagon GL with more equipment, and the Westfalia pop-top camper Vanagons, which came in two versions.
