You're right, from a Fox, and again you're right, the Digifant II will not
"plug and play" into a Vanagon.

Now... it could have came from a 1987 that was converted to run on a Fox  /
Cabriolet engine!

I noticed the following ebay auction today:

 VW VANAGON ENGINE CONTROL UNIT DIGIFANT ENGINE CONTROL UNIT CAME OUT OF A
RUNNING, 1987 VOLKSWAGEN VANAGON. PART #037 906 022 BE

Far as I can tell, that's a VW Fox Digifant II ECU part#. Picture matches
number too. So if it came out of a "running 1987 Vanagon", the real question
is "how well was it running"? Or maybe he means he found it just lying
around loose INSIDE a running Vanagon. Can't imagine a Digifant II ECU would
actually work...
