One thing I failed to think of.


Maybe TJ is thinking of putting a 1.8T in a Vanagon.


I converted a Westy. Part of the annoyance was making the bed work
out. Fortunately, the increase in height needed in the tub portion was
almost exactly the same as the thickness of the Z bed foam. ~ 4".


Not sure how the 1.8T compares to the Jetta 2.0 in height though.....


Checking the oil is another part of the PITA, but I imagine one could
set up another type of dip stick that is accessible from the Vanagon
license plate hatch.


Neil.
