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.

I am new here and need a new motorious.
There is an item on ebay:

VW DIESEL SHORT BLOCK ASSY.    Item #584632857

It is 1500cc short block, does anyone know what year and model this would
fit?
Could I bolt it into my "83 Vanagon which is endowed with a 1600?? would the
head fit, ETC??
