The Audi 80 uses the same pump as the Vanagon.... if you really want to make
the Golf pump work, you are going to have to braze on a new fitting.

Subject: I-4 conversion: power steering lines

Hi,

    I'm putting an Audi 80 (3A engine code) into an '86 westy using diesel
parts. I'm using the
small, round  cast iron power steering pump and brackets from a '90 golf
(engine code RV),
because it it the only pump small enought to fit in the area between the
engine suppport bars, the
diesel pan, and the block.
    Problem: The pressure line from the Golf PS pump doesn't mate with the
steel Vanagon PS line,
nor do any other lines I could find.  Anyone know of a stock solution out
there? If I need a line
custom built, any sources?

                    Thanks for the help in advance,

                                                            Sam
