1.9l Vanagon water pump replacement
Here is a link to a nice video one of our customer’s made about how to replace a water pump in a 1.9l Vanagon. Let me know if you want to order the parts that he did. I will list them below so you can just order them through the store:

the rest order one each and you should be fine.

Happy replacement!
This parts list appears to be missing one item. What about the gasket for the upper pipe that connects to the thermostat housing? You have the O-ring on one side, but a gasket is needed at the other end. Your list appears to include the gasket for the right side of the lower pipe, but I believe that the upper and lower pipe gaskets are different.
