The 1.5D is for late '70s to early '80s cars only. The vanagon uses only the 1.6D in North America. Other markets also got 1.6TD and 1.7D models. I have never heard of anyone installing a 1.5D in a Vanagon, but I think it will fit. It will most likely not have enough power to push the Vanagon. Mike Snow
