Vibrating tiico engines just suck....

Ask Julianna and Bob Johnson :-)

What Matt described was the fix for a mutual friends
Westfalia.

Replacing all the accessory brackets with Golf/Jetta
items worked.  It wasn't a direct cross over though.
You have to customize the PS high-pressure hose and
you will need to have an assortment of pulleys to get
things right.

Lastly, we didn't reattach her A/C compressor.  I am
not sure which brackets to use if you intend on making
this work.  Further (Matt correct me if I'm wrong) you
may have to use the Jetta/golf compressor (so it fits
the bracketry and location correctly).


I am sure that there are still photos of this lying
around someplace should anyone be interested.

This buzzing/vibration was around 3500 RPM and pretty
annoying.  That and the belts and bolts and bracket
constantly breaking (Peter are you listening yet, the
bracket is a POS).

I think this left Julianna stranded a half dozen times
before Matt, Kraig and I fixed it.  She has had
minimal other issues since things were done.

This is my 3 cents worth,
Brian
