Volks,

The conversion kits I had talked about earlier this year are now available
for delivery. This kit uses a brand new 1.9 TDI with mechanical pump control
(similar to the older TD engines), and includes all mounts, hoses, exhaust,
intercooler, etc.; basically all parts needed to convert a Vanagon
wasserboxer model to TDI. This kit mounts the engine in an upright
configuration and includes a 100mm raised deck panel. For use in a
Westfalia, it would require modification to the rear cabinet or fabrication
of a custom engine lid to provide clearance over the engine, which is
centered in the van. These conversions are vibration-free, utilizing VW's
newer hydraulic mounts, and have been OK'd for sale in CA. Email me for
details and pricing.
