The Wasserboxer is basically a VW Type 1 converted to water cooling. Vanagons had them from 1983-on. I think they're junk.
Based on what I see in the link, water jacket seal is leaking (like EVERY one of them). The heads corrode around the sealing surface because nobody used the right coolant. Couple that with low oil pressure in a large vehicle.
Expect to replace the head gaskets, water pump, all the cooling system hoses, fuel injection and vacuum hoses. AC doesnt work for some reason (belt missing). Probably doesnt pass CA smog either.
I wouldnt even consider owning a Vanagon without converting to a Porsche 6, Ford Zetec or Subaru EJ22/EJ25. The original Type 4 engine was just barely adequate. The Wasserboxer is just a insult to VW owners.
