Subject:      Importing Vanagon to California, USA, in particular from Canada
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all, Looking for tips and or advice on importing a Vanagon from Canada to California.

I am currently looking at a 1990 model with what looks to be a conversion to turbo diesel VW engine. My questions are: 1) What issues if any that I will encounter? 2) Does it need to have a current California compliant exhaust system ie catalytic converter or is there more to it? 3) Does it matter if it was a gas engine van at time of manufacture and now has a diesel engine instead?

Are there any other questions that I am missing that should be asked?

Thanks for any responses to the questions. If you think it is appropriate to email me off list that would be fine too.
