No, he took the glow plug relay out of his TDI Jetta to use in getting the Syncro started......

Looks like he has good automotive taste!

There are not any relays in the Vanagon front fuse/relay panel that are needed for the engine to run. You could pull them all out and the engine will still start and the van will drive. Same with all the fuses in the front fuse panel, none are needed to start and drive away. Something is fishy.
