The only parts that are missing is the EGR system. Between the exhaust
manifold and intake manifold there is an EGR cooling manifold that has been
remove and right where the 90 degree elbow is there is supposed to be an EGR
valve. Other than that, it is all there and running 100%.

I am not an expert but I guess some parts are missing, aren't they?
Otherwise the layout looks very clean and not crowded.
30 USmpg. It is less than 8L/100Km. It is more than 600Km per tank. What a
dream? I guess every Westy owner should have a motor like this.
On a auto tranny, do you have to change it when you do a TDI swap?
