Nice mileage, but 28mph up Snoqualmie pass trailing smoke. Being passed by split windows is a little annoying (although I was warmer) J -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Jay L Snyder Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 6:04 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Diesel Vanagon Questions
My '89 1.6 NA Jetta can barely get out of its own way with the AC on. I wouldn't bother trying it in a Vanagon. The turbo gets you a few more hp, but its not much good from a dead stop.

Has anyone tried installing AC on a 1.6 diesel vanagon? How about with a turbo from a Jetta. Logic tells me that the "High Torque" VW diesel engine should find it easy to run the AC. With a turbo added I could see some cooling issues but, with all the heavey duty coolers on the market, why wouldn't this work. Rex
