The VR on a T4 Bus is mounted in a fairly boxed-in location that gets 
little if any airflow -- RH side of the engine compartment on the gas 
tank firewall -- and doesn't seem to suffer from charging problems or 
unusually short lifespan.

Lengthening the wiring harness to the VR would be easy enough with a bit 
of solder and heat shrink.
