The biggest clue to tell wether it's an Aircooled or a watercooled is the following:-
- Aircooled vans only have the fresh air vent grille inbetween the headlights
- Watercooled vans have a radiator grille just above the front bumper in addition to the fresh air vent grille

Step 1. go round back of vehicle
step 2, open open tailgate
step 3, open engine cover
step 4, look at engine... lots of pipes running all over with a couple of tanks with fluid in them? and can easily see the road/drive/grass etc below? If yes its watercooled.....
IIRC, 1982 is too early for it to be a factory 1.9 wbx, but it could be an early diesel converted to petrol (the non turbo d was slow)
