oh, hey, Jim . . .I didn't mean to suggest the newer engine reliability might be so-so. I just was pointing to the design difference. Like a 928, or 944; the Euro uses a belt! (for the cam drive) IMO, too many things can "compromise" a belt. . . .on an "interference motor" it is risky design. (unless the 'design' is planned obsolecence.)
The vanagons are push-rod style (read: bullet proof)
