Not acceptable for a Vanagon???

I'll have you know that my '86 Doka with the 1.6NA diesel will easily cruise
down the road at 58mph... 62mph with a tail wind.  Flat ground of course.
Down hill, it's much faster... if I put the clutch in.  Up hill... well,
that's another story.

Cheers,

Jeff

I didn't see the ad, but if it's the original engine, then it's a 1.5L with
only 48hp, vs the 1.6L = 52hp.  Neither is really an acceptable choice for
the Vanagon.
