Uhhh Scott.... Where was the last NA (non-DI) VW diesel manufactured?
Puebla, Mexico. I understood the original question to be asking about
VW supportability south of the US border. I would think that driving a
vehicle powered by an engine produced in the country one was traveling
in might be a reasonably intelligent choice. But I could be wrong.
Luftboxer might be better. Of course, they're manufactured there too.
I suspect that finding a replacement 34 PICT 3 could be a challenge
though. I know that I would find that an upright 1600 would be a
challenge to fit to a Vanagon. This IS the Vanagon list, right?
