I need a Canadian version, 97 ONLY, "short nose" passenger fender. It has a little intake grill cut into the fender, right by the air filter.

In the US, 97's have a "long nose". Canadian 98's are "long nose" too.

Can someone help? Keep an eye out for one at the pic'n pull, please?

The odds of finding one around my area are pretty slim to nill, I would imagine. I could do some searching if you'd like. I'm thinking that it would be easier to find in the Alberta, B.C., or Ontario regions.

that'll be great! any help will do.

calling all GWN's

Do you have a photo?

i'll find one...

Likely your best bet is to have a look in British Columbia, for the closest (cheapest shipping), most likely place (lots of VWs dude) for that part. If no go there are 'prolly lots of members who can poke around in Ontario for you.

Here are a couple of VW recyclers in the greater Vancouver area that you can try. Also, try a “power search” for Eurovan in the Buy & Sell http://www.buysell.com .

I have a VW only scrapyard, here. Has about 5 Eurovans.
I will check tomorrow and let you know what I find, at least for a backup.
Good luck

not much, in regards to Eurovans. Vanagons are popular...

Dave do you have specs on the 97?

Hate to have a wrecker say yes we have one, only to find out it is from the wrong year. They might not know the difference between 97 & 98....

Is it only 97 that was made this way?

no specs, but i'll look. 97 only, from what i was told...

You can if you get one from a later Canada-only Transporter (should be in the ETKA...but I'd have to check to be sure if it's listed). The '97 Transporter in Canada was short-nose but had the vent.

VW Votex thread


the top of the fender will/should have a "recessed" area, to match the cowl area (only early models have this).

i WANT a Canadian 97 fender, w/ the louvers...

here is the CANADIAN 97 short nose fender...

Hey Dave I will make some phone calls...I'll call a few guys that deal parts up here...any idea what the pesky things are worth ( don't let Brad see the figures)
steve

Talked to a guy that has a gas version...200 bucks... ( Phil 1 604 944 3800) but it doesn't have vents i will check around some more
steve

IxNay on my part
Tunns of 94-95 stuff...yes my scap dealer seemed to know all about the differences. He says the older ones are identical, except the mounting, but I bet hes full of shit. He said 100$ can for it - 75$ USD.
Have you VW part # ?
I'll see what I dig up, at worst I will find the rite P# and you can see if you can order it thru a VW outlet.
I didn't get a chance to check my jobber (new)sources...did you want me to give it a shot?
