Hi all,

My '90 engine has decided to leak water into the cylinders and my mechanic says it probably isn't
worth it to do the repairs since that would be about 2/3 the cost of a new VW engine. So, I am
thinking about alternatives.

I drove a diesel conversion done by a local company near Seattle but wasn't particularly impressed
with it - pretty noisy and rough, not fun to drive. At $10,000 this would be twice the cost of the
new VW.

The other alternative I'm thinking about is the Bostig Zetec conversion. I looked over their web
site and forum, and I talked to Jim at Bostig, and it sounds like a nice product. Cost about the
same as the diesel, it seems. Before making my decision I'd really love to see one of these
conversions and talk to the owner.

Are there any Bostig conversions in the Seattle, or western Washington, or Portland OR areas?.
